I am the founder of the cognitive career platform 9-to-6.com and a third-generation linguist with a lifelong obsession for words that move people.

My lineage boasts an eminent professor of historical linguistics as my grandfather and an awarded lexicographer and philologist as my mother.

Who am I? A linguistic hooligan who decided to kick off my Prada stilettos and shake things up.

Having authored a dictionary on mafia argot and after stints at top-tier law firms like Latham & Watkins and White & Case, I've mastered the art of decoding any language brain teaser, from criminal slang to legalese.

As a career chameleon, I've worn many hats to become an expert: translator, interpreter, HR manager, global headhunter, and even a job seeker.
