Wa `alaykum As-Salamu wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh

 

Yes, a female can sit in front of any other man Mahram or non-Mahram and talk to him and engage with him in aspect of life be it to study, work etc. The only conditions are to be prompt in communication, keep the respect, be in the Islamic Hijab and it should be fine. Sahabah used to see other female Sahabah and talk to them for all kinds of reasons.

 

Almighty Allah knows best.
