Working within an Intercultural Community
After dedicating 10 enriching years working within the vibrant and diverse Asian community of North Carolina’s Research Triangle (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill), I witnessed the intricate challenges of cross-cultural communication firsthand. Inspired by these experiences, I transitioned into intercultural communication consulting, driven by a passion to empower international professionals to navigate and succeed in the United States.
Overcoming Barriers – Achieving Excellence
With a strong foundation as a practicing business lawyer, I offer a distinct perspective that uniquely enhances my consulting practice.
My legal expertise, my experience in complex business settings, combined with a deep understanding of cultural nuances, equips me to guide others in overcoming communication barriers and achieving success both academically and professionally.
My Mission
At the heart of my mission lies a dedication to empowering multilingual, non-native English-speaking professionals to break language barriers and command their worth in the marketplace.
I provide communication consulting to professionals, executives, and managers, equipping them with the skills necessary to excel in their careers and to navigate the English-speaking business environment with confidence leading to advancement in their careers.
My commitment is to foster a supportive and enriching experience that prepares my clients for success.

In-person sessions are held in my professional office located in Holly Springs, North Carolina. The setting is quiet, comfortable, and designed for focused one-to-one work. Many clients appreciate the privacy and calm atmosphere, which helps them speak freely and apply new communication strategies with confidence.
For clients who prefer virtual meetings, sessions can also be conducted via Zoom with the same level of personal attention and confidentiality.
