Summary

I am an international student hailing from South Korea, bringing a rich tapestry of cultural experiences and a global perspective to my academic and professional endeavors. My journey is underscored by a profound passion for two distinct yet interconnected domains: the dynamic world of startups and the intricate landscape of the law. My commitment to evidence-based decision-making and a holistic approach to organizational improvement aligns seamlessly with the values of Matthew J Hill Consulting. I am ready to empower organizations to reach their full potential and am excited to be part of the impactful work this team undertakes.
