Suzette Dupree

Transgender and multi-lingual professional. Well versed in the absurdity of life having had successful careers in both the public and private sectors. Enjoy the art of communications, public affairs, the all too often craziness of politics and the 24/7 relentless pace of international business. Anyone for a 2:00 AM Skype call with Beijing or perhaps to HCM City? Avid world traveler, keen observer of the more subtle rhythms of life in different cultural settings. A closet frustrated writer and dedicated foodie. On a more serious note, I carry an ever "hopeful" dream of one day being a decent cook without having to call the Fire Department. As noted, i self identify as being transgender ever since I can't remember when. In mind and spirit at least for starters as I travel this bumpy road of self discovery. I have fought the daily battles of pain and anguish with my inner demons, always tugging at me. Now with the passage of time. in the cold, sober light of maturity and in this, my so called life, I have concluded that denying "the ME in me" that which has been ever present, is a useless pursuit, a fool's errand at best. Now I embrace who I am and welcome the challenges that lie ahead with a mixed sense of excitement and fear, completely and wholeheartedly, professionally and personally. And dare the world. I am here to help individuals and small to medium enterprises with whatever skills can be leveraged to match their needs. For myself, I will manage somehow.
