Before turning into an Indonesian language trainer, Franciska was a Coach and Mentor in a trading company for several years. She grew up in Aceh (Sumatra) and underwent her higher education in Bandung (Java). Being exposed to so many different cultures in Indonesia, she aspires to share her experience with her students.
