What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values collaboration and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a detail-oriented professional with a robust background in education, translation, and legal analysis. My experience spans various roles where I have honed my skills in data analysis, report writing, and cross-cultural communication in both Korean and English. I thrive in environments that require precision and clarity, and I am passionate about leveraging my bilingual abilities to bridge cultural gaps.

In my recent role as a Korean Bilingual Legal Assistant/Analyst at Colombo & Hurd PL, I conducted detailed research and analysis on complex immigration cases, assisting attorneys in case preparation. My work involved drafting legal documents and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements, which significantly improved case outcomes. Prior to that, I worked as a Korean English Translator in the electric vehicle battery industry, where I translated complex documents while maintaining a high level of attention to detail.

Additionally, I have experience as an English teacher, where I developed and delivered lessons to ESL students, focusing on language acquisition and academic skills. My commitment to fostering a positive learning environment and providing mentorship has been a cornerstone of my teaching philosophy. I am eager to bring my diverse skill set to a new opportunity where I can continue to make a meaningful impact.
