What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining financial analysis or loan compliance with bilingual interpretation responsibilities, in organizations valuing accuracy, regulatory rigor, and clear cross-language communication.

I am a bilingual (English-Korean) financial professional and certified interpreter with extensive experience in commercial banking, loan underwriting, compliance, and professional interpreting across legal, medical, and government contexts. I have led loan review, ALLL estimation, GL reconciliations, and compliance activities at banks, and I bring strong analytical skills supported by an MBA in Finance/Accounting.

I am also an experienced Level 5 Legal Interpreter and Level 4 Medical Interpreter with VRI, FEMA, and USCIS certifications, and a history of client-facing interpreting for insurance, legal, medical, and government agencies. I combine rigorous financial controls knowledge with proven communication and translation skills to support accurate, compliant operations and high-quality cross-language services.
