I was born in Switzerland and spent my teenage years in West Africa. I'm a professional expat with several passports. I was living in New York City during 9/11, and out of solidarity, I became a US citizen, which was very easy. Originally a Swiss attorney-at-law, I was hired as a delegate by the International Committee of the Red Cross. Despite speaking Italian but not a word of Spanish, they sent me to Argentina overnight to deal with political prisoners under the regime of General Videla. Fortunately, my first prison was a women's prison, and they took it upon themselves to teach me Spanish from scratch. When asked where I learned Spanish, I reply, "In jail." I married a young Panamanian diplomat I met in Geneva. I have been working as a broker associate/director at Servmor Realty since 2008 and am also a broker in Florida, although I focus on selling properties in Panama. Additionally, I am a certified interpreter/translator in Spanish, English, and French.
