Stephen E. Murphy possesses expertise in latin america, spanish, strategic planning, start ups, leadership and 34 more skills. He is proficient in French and Spanish. Colleagues describe him as "Stephen and I have collaborated in many ways over the past 20+ years since he relocated to Seattle. His expertise in Latin America and the Southern Cone region was a very welcome addition to our region's community of international affairs, trade, diplomacy and exchange experts - despite Seattle's growing profile as a global city, we lacked the kind of economic, political, linguistic, and cultural knowledge that Stephen brought to us. We soon began discussing ways to work together and in time Stephen came on board as a senior Latin America consultant for the international organization I was heading, Associates in Cultural Exchange. In that capacity he significantly increased our insights and relationships with educational leaders and institutions in the region. Several years ago it was with great pleasure that I read Stephen's first book, "On the Edge: An Odyssey" in which he shares with startling realism and candor his unique personal story of becoming an internationalist through a fascinating journey of adventure, crises and discovery. I'm looking forward to reading Stephen's next book!"
