Message

I've led localization and global content programs at Culture Flipper, progressing from Project Coordinator to Lead US Project Manager through three promotions.

I manage 5–7 concurrent projects, coordinating 50–70 employees and freelancers across the U.S., Korea, and international markets. I turn client requirements into plans, milestones, ownership, dependencies, and deliverables while managing budgets, vendors, resources, risks, and stakeholder alignment.

Earlier, I led international communications initiatives for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Republic of Korea, and managed global advertising accounts at BBDO Korea. I'm Korean-English bilingual and bring experience supporting major streaming entertainment companies, government communications, and multinational brands.
