“Her life story, like the story in this book, serves as an inspiration to us–to do our individual best, practice our beliefs, keep our faith, morals and ethics; and do everything with compassion and empathy.”
— VP of Engineering in R&D for Military Systems, Formerly served with the US Army and Navy
The Logic of the Heart
For decades, my world was defined by the logic of software engineering: analysis, automation, image and data processing, diagnostics, computer vision, robotics, system integration, and user interface. Yet, beneath the code, I was navigating a forensic investigation of a different kind: the human condition.
How do we find true peace when faced with the worst? How do we thrive when traditional success fails us? It was only after navigating the profound trauma of systemic empathy deficits that I unexpectedly found my voice. I write under the pen name Voice Asian, representing the unique perspective from which these foundational stories grew, fueling the global mission of Voice for Empathy.
I am deeply honored that this journey—captured in my memoir, Empathy Deficits—has been recognized as a Global Book Award Winner in the Biographical/Memoir category, a testament to the power of reclaiming our shared humanity through integrity.
A Forensic Path to Recovery
My transition from a victim of others' misdeeds to an author in control of her own narrative was fueled by a commitment to reality over ego. My professional background in diagnostics and integration allowed me to observe the "root causes" of disconnect with the same precision I used for complex system failures.
Empathy Deficits emerged from the raw pages of my personal journal. This isn't just a collection of professional insights; it’s a story about us. It is a path to transforming suffering into strength and accessing the unshakeable tranquility that resides within every human being. Through the clarity of reflection, I discovered that self-empathy and kindness aren’t just virtues—they are precision tools for protection and recovery.
Join the Mission
I have always been driven by an insatiable curiosity and a preference for reality over rhetoric. I value peaceful solutions over prolonged disputes and often find myself enjoying quiet reflection, peculiarly paying attention to the details.
I chose to publish my journal to show why we must share our stories and what truly matters most. By restoring empathy—starting with ourselves—we can transform the encountered situation. We have the power to extract the best from the worst and find happiness where we least expect it.
While our struggles feel isolating, the solution is something we build together.
