an international careers expert and an award-winning author
on how to succeed in the global marketplace. She provides
practical and relevant advice on the value of understanding

all American students today. She spent the majority of her
career at Burson-Marsteller and Unilever, where she served
as strategist, coach, and counselor to CEOs, politicians and
senior executives around the world. Her extensive global
leadership experience in corporate communications, brand

contributions and speaking engagements across the country.
She has authored four books on the intersection of
globalization and careers. Her two most recent books were
released in the fall 2013: Raising Global Children (ACTFL,
November 2013), co-authored with her husband, veteran travel
writer Marshall S. Berdan, is a combination
parenting-advocacy book filled with practical information
for parents and teachers on how to help prepare our children
for a global world. A Student Guide to Study Abroad (IIE,
September 2013) – coauthored with Dr. Allan Goodman,
President and CEO of the Institute of International
Education, and Sir Cyril Taylor, Founder of AIFS – is the
go-to guide for students and advisers on how to make the
most of study abroad. Her first book, Get Ahead By Going
