I currently own my own executive search firm after working in a global consulting firm for many years. I was a National Merit Scholar at UCLA, but didn't know much about business prior to graduating.

I grew up in Gardena, a little town in south Los Angeles. My dad was an airline mechanic and my mother was a homemaker who had grown up in an internment camp for Japanese-Americans. I was the first in my nuclear family to graduate from college. I have gone on to work in a business where I deal with top level executives from world class companies. This required a lot of on the job observation to adjust to a different world, and I look forward to sharing some of the lessons learned.
