Every business journey has its turning points. For me, that moment happened halfway across the world.

With over a decade of experience in business consulting and managing cross-functional, international teams, I spent years navigating the complexities of global operations. But while living and working in China, I hit a universal roadblock: the labyrinth of the U.S. tax code. Like many entrepreneurs, I faced its steep learning curve firsthand and made my fair share of mistakes.

Learning the tax code "the hard way" taught me a vital lesson: business owners shouldn't have to weather the storm alone. That experience sparked a mission. I decided to pivot my corporate background toward a new goal—helping others find absolute clarity when the elements of taxes and business management become overwhelming by becoming an IRS Enrolled Agent.

Today, I am proud to call Chicago home. This city thrives on its incredible diversity, its vibrant communities, and the relentless drive of its local businesses. My goal is to bring the strategic, high-level insights I honed working with multi-national companies down to the local level—serving as a steady beacon for Chicago business owners.

At Lakefront Tax & Advisory, we don't just protect your bottom line from the financial elements; we build bridges. I am deeply committed to helping our clients find total clarity in their numbers while fostering a strong network where local entrepreneurs can connect, collaborate, and grow toward mutual success.
