IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a PhD scholar pursuing research at Jawaharlal Nehru University with a strong command of Korean language, literature, and culture, built through rigorous study and professional translation work. I focus on cross-cultural communication—supporting intercultural understanding through interpretation, translation, and cultural mediation.
I’ve translated and interpreted in demanding, real-world settings, including roles with the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence and freelance assignments across localization and translation services. Alongside my work, I publish and present research on multiculturalism, democracy, social harmony, and the role of religion in mental health—backed by competitive awards and multiple international conference presentations.
