My Why

What powers my practice

My path to law began with a fascination for language—not just as communication, but as a system that shapes behavior. While working at a language translation firm, I saw how contractual language actively shapes the world, a realization that inspired me to pursue a legal career. Today, I find fulfillment in advocating for others by transforming complex ideas into language that drives real-world outcomes, guided by the skills of listening, patience, and cross-cultural communication that I first developed living abroad in Korea.
