Describe your international experience, connections, interests or hobbies that you would like to share.:
While I have been blessed to travel internationally, my favorite country has been Italy because I always get inspired to learn something new, whether it is to read something historical relating to something I visited, to open my eyes to new fashion, or to try a new recipe because of something so good I ate on my trip. But the most important inspiration has been the Italian people being so hospitable, so kind, and so welcoming. It makes me want to reach out and be so welcoming to travelers.
My interests are varied from helping friends, bridge, Walking with Purpose (Catholic Women’s Group), ballroom dancing, pilates, reading, volunteering, learning new things, and to other activities. I enjoy meeting new people and developing friendships along the way and that is what has attracted me to join the WFLIC.
What other organizations have you belonged to and what position have you held; past and present.:
When I was an active commercial real estate broker I was involved in business organizations, holding both leadership and service positions. Now, being retired, I have focused on helping individuals , and volunteering with the various ministries within my church. For example I started helping a visually impaired woman do errands, shopping or whatever I could help her with. It’s ironic that I thought I was helping her but she actually helps me. Despite her everyday challenges, she doesn’t complain and is so positive….we are now the best of friends.
Friendships are priceless treasures and I look forward to making friendships within the WFLIC as I continue my journey of life.

I maintain business interests in Oakville, Ontario as well as long standing friendships in the Toronto area so that I travel and visit there periodically each year.
One of my greatest passions is travel and I have enjoyed visiting various countries over the years. Most recently I visited the Baltic area and St. Petersburg; prior to that I was in Southeast Asia, including Myanmar, which had just been opened to tourism. It is hard for me to imagine any other endeavor that is as enriching and enlightening as traveling our amazing world. Doing so to learn about other cultures and their histories is, and always will be, a most rewarding lifelong adventure for me!

I am currently a member of Greater Naples Leadership in the Class of XXIII.

Describe your international experience, connections, interests or hobbies that you would like to share.:
For as long as I can remember, I was interested in communicating in languages beyond the English my parents spoke at home. I always cultivated friends from other countries and remember pressing my grandmothers to teach me words from the languages they had spoken as children. As such, I knew a few words of greeting in Polish and before I was seven or eight, could count to one hundred in German. I remember an elementary school classmate from Finland and a early chum from Iraq. I was intrigued by the pale skin and very blond hair of the girl from Finland. I liked learning to spell her name—Anja—that was quite different than the names of the American girls in my class. The child from Iraq had much darker skin than mine and short, curly black hair; I thought she was so pretty! When we were playing together one day at a friend’s house, I realized my Iraqi friend was wearing a dress that was exactly the same as one I had; however, mine was trimmed in pink and hers was trimmed in brown. What a lesson in the basic truth that people can look different and still be fundamentally the same! She spoke French that I was trying to learn, but in addition, she spoke Arabic that I couldn’t understand. Besides their languages, I wanted to learn about how people from other countries thought and lived. I graduated from high school fluently trilingual, thanks to my own interests and study and to friendships I formed with some young people from France and a family from Cuba.
My first experience living outside the United States was a junior year abroad program in France. During that year, I lived with a French family that also had roots in Spain and with which I’m still friendly. That year, I also met wonderful people who have become like family for me. Five generations of this family have continued to visit, travel and share family events with my husband, our children and me. My husband’s French name and his blood relatives in England, France, Ireland and Australia have brought countless opportunities for mutual cultural enrichment and exchange over the past forty years.
I have traveled in some forty countries in North America, Central and South America, through most of Europe and in Asia. (As an American, I have also visited 49 of the 50 United States and enjoy sharing my knowledge of my country with international colleagues, family and friends.) I was also privileged to live and study Mexican culture and history for a short time in that country.
A job at the United Nations and the opportunity to train as a simultaneous interpreter, allowed me to obtain their proficiency status in both French and Spanish. Later, for five years, I held a contract with the U.S. State Department as an escort interpreter. Additionally, I worked for eight years for a multinational, French-based corporation where I spoke, wrote, interacted and traveled with international colleagues.
As a married woman with children, I settled into a career as a teacher of French, Spanish and briefly, as an instructor of English as a second language. I taught every grade level from kindergarten through college, and when I came to Naples after my retirement, I taught French in the adult community school for two seasons. One of the great joys of my high school teaching career was the opportunity to establish a French exchange program. It enabled students to live and study in France and also arranged for French students to visit and stay in American homes with young people their own age. I earned a master’s degree in French literature. I continue to read and watch movies in both French and Spanish.
In addition to French and Spanish, I also speak German with reasonable proficiency, but to a lesser degree. I have been grateful to be able to communicate in that language when traveling in Western and Central Europe. It would be my hope to participate in the German language interest group if I am able to join the WFLIC.
When my husband and I first came to Naples, I sought out friends from other countries and activities where I could meet them. (We have spent eight winter seasons here, but have now been in full-time residence since September, 2014.) In addition to Americans (many who have lived overseas), my friends and associates in Naples come from Canada, Cuba, Argentina, Colombia, Spain, France, England, Italy, Poland, Germany and Sweden. Many are members of the WFLIC: Isabel Etkin who is being kind enough to sponsor my application, Raquel Dunning and Eva Sands are lovely friends of mine. I also know Sophie Classen and Emilia Libers from other organizations to which I belong; a new member Emilia has recently sponsored, Karen Serret, is a dear friend of mine. Irene Tallody, who was a longtime member of your organization and a family friend, first told me about the WFLIC when we first came here. She introduced me to the Spanish language interest group where she was active. (It was my joy to visit this group again last week and to meet some of the lovely women who I had first met back then.) I would have applied to join the WFLIC at that time, but I was mistakenly under the impression that membership was not open to native-born Americans.
I do sincerely hope that you will approve my candidacy for membership. If you do, I promise to be a worthy and active member, to promote international understanding through friendship and to reach out in friendship to foster understanding among members of different nationalities and backgrounds. Thank you for your consideration of my application!
What other organizations have you belonged to and what position have you held; past and present.:
I have always belonged to organizations that support my interest in languages, international exchange and international affairs and classical music. Additionally, I have tried to participate in some sort of outreach or volunteer activity that has benefitted those who are less fortunate than I.
Present memberships:
Alliance Française de Bonita Springs: I chair the French book club.
Women’s Cultural Alliance: I recommend one classical music event per month in season and frequently arrange for group tickets.
Vanderbilt Presbyterian Church: I currently serve on the Board of Deacons; my term of office ends in May, 2021.
Past: I have always belonged to organizations that have supported my interests in world languages and classical music. When I worked full-time, I sang in a church choir, and helped to promote community concerts. Further back, when my children were young, I did much to support their growth, education and friendships. I was president of the “music” parents at school, supported fundraising for the band, served as a class mother, volunteered to teach French language and culture at the elementary school before the district offered such programs, arranged international exchanges for our family and friends and volunteered for my church.

Describe your international experience, connections, interests or hobbies that you would like to share.:
In the summer of 1962, I was a student in Paris, France at the Institute Catholique and lived with the Vandebeek Family. I met and visited other Parisians at their vacation homes in Normandy, Brittany, and Lugano, Italy. When the Vandebeek Family went on their vacation, I stayed at a girls boarding house associated with the school. It was a wonderful experience meeting and spending time with Germans, Swedes, and especially many South Americans who also lived there.
For many years I led a group of new American citizens, as well as those of Lebanese decent, to participate in the Saginaw Ethnic Festivals. We sought out donations and raised funds to establish a scholarship at Saginaw Valley State University for students of Middle Eastern decent.
I participated as the Publicity Chair for the first Japan Festival, which thousands attended, at our Japanese Cultural Center located in Saginaw, Michigan. I also entertained Japanese visitors from our sister city of Tokushima, Japan. In years to follow, I also assisted in welcoming and entertaining the Japanese exchange groups that would come to visit. Presently, I still maintain my membership with this organization.
I thoroughly enjoy interacting with all the ethnic groups in our area and learning more about their food and customs.
I have traveled personally to visit family members and friends in England, Switzerland, Lebanon, and Hong Kong. In addition, I have traveled to European countries with WFLIC Member, Ursula Rathie.

Describe your international experience, connections, interests or hobbies that you would like to share.:
I began travelling at an early age. My father was recalled to service for the Korean war and after it was “over” he decided to make the Air Force his career. At age 4, I travelled with my mom and brother to Japan where we joined my dad for 2 years at Tachikawa Air Force Base. My parents were always interested in the local culture and took us to many temples, shrines, and towns of historical and cultural interest. After Japan we moved back to the USA for three years. In 1958 we were assigned to Bentwaters AFB in Suffolk, England. Again, my parents traveled throughout England and became very interested in English history. In 1960, while living in England, we took our Volkswagen bug across the Channel for a month-long visit to France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and others. We returned to USA in 1961.
After High School and University, I married Ernest Williams and he was offered a job at the University of Puerto Rico, Mayaguez Campus. We arrived there in 1974. During our time in PR, we traveled to scientific meetings in Dominican Republic, Curacao, Venezuela, Bahamas, Cuba, St Thomas, Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, Panama, Costa Rica, Australia, New Guinea, and Colombia. For our 25th wedding anniversary we traveled to Kenya and Tanzania. In 1985-86, we accepted a fellowship to Sesoka Marine Science Center in Okinawa, Japan, where we lived for a year. During that time, we were able to travel to all the main islands of Japan, visiting Ichthyology museums. We also visited numerous islands in the southern part of Japan off Taiwan. We traveled to Hong Kong for several days. After returning to PR, we accompanied the Italian Club of the University and spent a month in Perugia, Italy where we took day trips and several overnights exploring central Italy. We also joined a group from Palm Beach Atlantic University for a tour of the Galapagos Islands.
After we retired, we began cruising and enjoyed many trips to Spain and Portugal and spent a week in Barcelona. We took a coach tour of Spain with our PR friends. We also had a wonderful weeks-long trip to South Africa and Zimbabwe. We went with another professor and a group of students to India and visited game parks to see tigers and other wildlife. We accompanied our Sri Lankan friend to his wedding in Sri Lanka where we toured extensively but also visited Siem Reap, Angkor Wat, Cambodia and visited Phuket, Bangkok and Chang Mai, Thailand and dived in the Maldives Islands
We have made 84 scientific and commercial cruises visiting international locations throughout the Caribbean, Eastern Pacific, Atlantic and Mediterranean Islands, European, Asia too numerous to list. In 2023 we will take an Around-The-World Cruise visiting many locations we have not previously visited.
What other organizations have you belonged to and what position have you held; past and present.:
In my Academic life I was Chairman of the Biology Department at the University of Puerto Rico, Mayaguez Campus for five years. I belonged to the Association of Marine Laboratories of the Caribbean for many years and was the Secretary/Treasurer for more than 10 years. This was an international Scientific Association that had scientific meetings at different Caribbean Islands every two years.
After retirement I joined the International Friendship Club of Mayaguez, Puerto Rico where I was Vice President for programs and later President until we moved to Naples, FL. In Naples, I belong to the American Association of University Women Greater Naples Branch, where I am currently Secretary. I also joined Naples Newcomers South where I am coordinator of Coffee and Conversation which meets monthly.

Describe your international experience, connections, interests or hobbies that you would like to share.:
Born in Germany, I lived there until age 25. Curious and interested in foreign cultures from a young age, I was broadly educated in Europe and the US. Passionate about travel, I was lucky enough to combine extensive and frequent international work trips in global leadership positions (in the design and architecture industry) with personal travels – often together with my husband. Since 2022, we are fully based in Bonita Springs and sold our home in the New York area. We enjoy maintaining wonderful and often deep connections with our many friends and family members all over the world. For the last 10 years, I have worked as a certified executive coach, often supporting clients – from Hong Kong to New York to Berlin and beyond – who are often finding themselves in times of change and are searching for what is next. My small consultancy offers me a part time activity now that fits nicely into the flexible schedule I desire. This work also enables me to do pro bono coaching for the staff of humanitarian organizations including the United Nations.
What other organizations have you belonged to and what position have you held; past and present.:
Over the years, I have held a number of positions in professional organizations in the Design & Architecture Industry, for example CoreNet Global and the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID), as Board Member and Committee Chair.
Also, I have lead a number of committees and initiatives in my corporate career working with “volunteers”.
Recently, I have been active locally in our neighborhood community organization as a committee member to rewrite Architectural Guidelines. This position has now come to an end.
If I become a member @ WFLIC, it will be one of the very few organizations I am interested in joining. I really enjoyed the diversity of members and the warm welcome at the December luncheon that I was looking for in SW Florida. I would like to actively participate and contribute and do not want to spread myself too thin.

Describe your international experience, connections, interests or hobbies that you would like to share.:
I was born in Mexico City, Mexico and lived there until I got married. I then lived in Puerto Rico twice for a total of 9 years and Manila, Philippines for 3 years. I have always enjoyed traveling and had the opportunity to visit many countries and areas both large and small while we lived abroad. I fell in love with golf when I married my husband and have been fortunate to play in any different countries. I am fairly new to the game of Mahjong having played for only about 10 years but have loved all card games since I was a child. I love making things grow and enjoy gardening.
What other organizations have you belonged to and what position have you held; past and present.:
When I still lived in Mexico City I became a member of the Junior League. Unfortunately there were no Junior Leagues in Puerto Rico or the Philippines. I did some volunteer work in Puerto Rico and in the Philippines I was a member of the Women’s Auxiliary of St Luke’s Hospital, a group that basically raised money. I was secretary. We have belonged to 6 country clubs and I have been active in all of them. I have served on the board of governors where I chaired the Pool Committee for 7 years. Aside from hiring life guards I ran a summer camp for members’ chiledren ages 3 to 9. I also served on Membership, Greens, Golf, B–Laws, Member Relations and Nominating Committees. I have chaired the Women’s Golf Association in the last two clubs we have been members of.

Describe your international experience, connections, interests or hobbies that you would like to share.:
When I was 19,I hitch-hiked around Europe on my own making friends as I went. In the 90’s, I lived and worked in the UK for more than 5 years as Vice President and Managing Director for Harley-Davidson, Inc. My job included marketing oversight for all of Europe and gave me nice travel opportunities. During the early 2000’s, I travelled to different parts of Mexico for 5 consecutive years with a group of painters. In 2018, I celebrated my birthday by renting an apartment by myself in Paris. I have also travelled outside of Europe to various parts of Asia and South America. Generally speaking, I am adventurous and get excited about exploring new destinations and meeting different kinds of people.
In addition to travel, I am passionate about art and design. I am an avid oil painter and have been taking classes for several years. I am considered to have “a good eye” and I’m sometimes recruited to help friends with their interiors. I also love to cook and try new recipes. I started an Ina Garten dinner group in which the guests all cook her recipes.

Describe your international experience, connections, interests or hobbies that you would like to share.:
I was born in Mauritius of French parents; my mother was from Lyon and my father from Nice. I lived on and off the island of Mauritius for about 15 to 18 years. I moved permanently to France when I was approximately 18 years old. I was hired as a Stewardess in Nice, France by Pan American Airlines. After a few months of PAN AM training, I settled in New York. I was a stewardess for one year, thereafter I became a “Purser” (chief of the cabin crew). I then moved to Rome, Italy where I attended the Dante Alighieri school for foreigners and learned Italian. After two and a half years I returned to New York and worked for the Belgian Airlines Sabena as a marketing manager for 15 years. I married my husband who was French-Belgian. In 1988 through 1991, we lived in Spain on the Costa del Sol. We then returned to the US, and I worked at the first Southwest Florida International (RSW) as marketing manager; my role was to develop international air service for the airport. In 1998 I moved to the Visitor & Convention Bureau first as the Administration Director and then as the Director of Marketing & Public Relations for the French market. In this capacity, I developed strong relationships with all French media (radio, TV, Tour operators, Travel writers, etc.) to promote the Southwest Florida destination in France and French speaking countries. I was successful in capturing a large amount of air time on both French radio and on TV for this destination, as well as articles in French magazines & newspapers, including being in several French Travel guides. I retired from that position in 2008. In 2009 the Visitor & Convention Bureau hired me a consultant for the French market, and I worked in that capacity for approximately nine years. Since then, I have devoted my time to volunteering, taking care of myself by adding exercising, walking, yoga, Pilates, Tai Chi and Chi Gong to my daily routine as well as joining several French groups for the benefit of socializing and meeting new friends.
