Where tech, culture,
and healing converge.

Twenty years of tech.
A lifetime of listening.

I grew up in Seoul and moved to the US in my early twenties — carrying with me a deep cultural rootedness and the disorienting, clarifying experience of starting over in a new world. That journey shaped everything: how I listen, what I notice, and why I care so much about the stories people carry inside them.

I've spent 20 years in tech as a Product Manager — building customer experience and data platforms, driving personalization, predictive modeling, and product-led growth. Now I'm training to become a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), rooted in an existential-humanistic, narrative approach. I have deep, firsthand empathy for high-pressure professional environments — the always-on culture, identity wrapped up in performance, the quiet erosion of inner agency. And I understand intimately what it means to navigate between cultures, to translate not just language but whole ways of being, and how profoundly that shapes identity and belonging. I'm especially drawn to adults navigating identity questions, career transitions, and existential reevaluation — and committed to integrating AI into care thoughtfully and ethically, to extend the therapeutic relationship, never replace it.
