What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can bridge multilingual teams, drive cross-cultural initiatives, and apply strategic communication to support joint operations and global business growth.

I am a professionally trained interpreter and British university graduate with proven experience facilitating high-stakes communication across military, academic, and commercial sectors. My background as a KATUSA and as a liaison with USFK gives me deep knowledge of ROK–US bilateral relations and organizational protocol.

I have led cross-cultural operations and managed complex stakeholder interactions as a General Manager and freelance interpreter, covering domains from automotive engineering to beauty and food industries. I apply strategic marketing and operational management principles developed during my Sports Management BA to optimize communication workflows and event logistics.

I am collaborative, data-informed, and focused on driving business objectives in fast-paced global environments, delivering clear, actionable outcomes in multilingual settings.
