What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values creativity and cultural understanding, offering opportunities for growth.

I am a bilingual translator with a strong background in visual media and arts communication, specializing in English-to-Korean translation. My experience includes collaborating closely with international artists and curators, managing bilingual content for both print and digital platforms. With a passion for film and television, I watch over 100 titles annually, which has deepened my understanding of cultural nuances and storytelling.

Throughout my career, I have successfully translated and adapted content for various formats, including promotional videos and social media. My work includes producing promotional videos for Deokhwa Myeongran, a Korean seafood brand, and translating exhibition introductions for artists, ensuring that the tone and intent of the original Korean are preserved in English. I pride myself on my attention to detail and my ability to convey messages accurately and culturally appropriately.
