The Language of Success is a story of survival, self-improvement, and accomplishment. In these pages, the author walks us through her sometimes-tumultuous upbringing in a ‘milky-white’ town of little diversity, while striving to understand the bigger world around her.

This unorthodox route into the world of business and later linguistics, showcases the opportunities and ‘go with your guts’ intuition, that often lead to places you never dreamed of. The lessons learned through years of minimum wage jobs and struggle were later her building blocks for success. Over the course of two decades, she built her company, Empire Interpreting Service, into a leading Language Service Provider (LSP).
