Hello.
EXPERT COMMUNICATOR
STRATEGIC LINGUIST
SPEAKER
As a trained linguist, I have a unique approach to written and verbal communications. I help businesses close the gap between what they think they're saying, and what's actually being received by their customers.
Olim was the natural outcome of a passion for people, and a love of language.
Stumbling across Linguistics at University in 2008 - completely by chance - I quickly found myself
hooked. Hurling my previous degree subjects out the window, I pursued my new focus
with a passion that probably bordered on obsession.
Discovering Linguistics - the study of language as an entity - it was like being given the secrets to the universe. From sociolinguistics to semantics, phonemes to morphemes, I discovered how to de-code connection and understand how to communicate effectively.
After working with international academic institutions, unicorn start ups, and award-winning agencies, today I run Olim, working with companies around the world to better their bottom line by delighting their customers.
