NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a bilingual Korean-English specialist with 13+ years of immersion in South Korea, focused on translation, interpretation, and content creation. I provide accurate language services using native-level Korean and English.
As a self-employed translator & interpreter since 2013, I’ve translated sermons, speeches, and documents between Korean and English. I also deliver interpretation for multicultural events and meetings, helping Korean and English speakers communicate clearly while maintaining accuracy and attention to detail.
Alongside language work, I create Korean YouTube Shorts. I produced and managed a Korean-language channel, developed from scratch, using native Korean, slang, and cultural references—reaching 29,000 organic views and demonstrating strong understanding of Korean humor and local trends.
