Portrait of Suzan Kim

About me

Hello, I'm Suzan (김수진). I grew up between Korean and English, and I've spent more than 20 years helping people understand each other, in business meetings, courtrooms, clinics, publishing, and everyday life.

As a coach, I bring the same listening-first approach: I help people navigate career transitions, life in a new country, and big decisions with clarity and kindness.
