“Sallie was instrumental in my academic journey, guiding me through admissions to UCSD for undergrad, a transfer to UC Berkeley, and eventually a Master’s at UC Berkeley.
As a first-generation college student, I struggled to articulate my background in a compelling way. Sallie’s talent for distilling language helped me shape my story into authentic, impactful applications that reflected who I am.
I also appreciated her thoughtful understanding of what admissions panels look for and how she helped me navigate that process with confidence.”

“I've had the privilege of working with Sallie to support monolingual, low-income Chinese tenants in San Francisco. Sallie is professional, patient, deeply attuned to client needs, and ensures language and cultural barriers don’t hinder access to legal resources.
Her clear communication, effective advocacy, and thoughtful approach make her a great partner in our clients’ cases.
I trust her to ensure that critical information is precisely and appropriately translated.”

“Sallie is clear, thoughtful, and detail-oriented.
With a multilingual and bicultural upbringing, she moves fluidly between English and Chinese, often using language as a bridge to connect people and perspectives across differences. She has a strong ability to distill complexity and articulate what truly matters.
During her time at Peking University — whether applying for competitive scholarships, a UN internship, or crafting academic papers — she consistently brought forward the most compelling parts of each story, and she may be able to help others do the same.”

“Sallie not only understands how to implement a complex project and foster a shared understanding of goals and strategies, but also brings forward and makes clear the unstated facets of every project.
The outcome: people work together in ways that make every following project stronger.
Beyond that, Sallie is a joy to work with - kind, funny, and grounded in the values of community-centered legal and policy campaigns.”
— Communications Director, Asian Law Caucus
“Sallie's efficient and effective project management skills, along with her accurate and speedy translation abilities, are further strengthened by her commitment to community building.

“Sallie brought clarity and purpose to every project we worked on together. Whether we were planning an event or navigating international collaborations, she had a unique ability to bring out the best in every endeavor.
I truly appreciated her thoughtful approach, her ability to see and integrate different perspectives, and, most importantly, her ability to communicate with impact.
She was and is always someone I could count on for insightful advice and a fresh perspective, and I continue to value her guidance and support.”
