Helen Kuusela

Helen Kuusela spent her early years in Finland and Sweden where she earned her Bachelors and Masters degrees in management. She then embarked on a career in international development which took her and her family to numerous countries on several continents. During her eight years in Africa, she fell in love with the continent, its people, rich culture, its nature and its wildlife. She enjoyed numerous adventures in the wild as a "weekend safari driver" and became a musician, presenting traditional African songs along with African musicians in each country where she lived.

In mid-1990’s she settled in the US and now lives with her family in Florida, where she also runs an international consulting practice.

She is a passionate owner of a sweet rescue dog and has committed to donate a portion of the proceeds from her first novel “Confessions of a Rescue Dog” to the local Humane Society shelter in the county where she lives.

Over her successful career, Helen has written numerous professional publications focusing on people and organizational management. She is also an avid writer and poet in the blogging world and is preparing to publish her first poetry collection and another novel later in 2014.
