I am a Korean-English freelance interpreter and translator with over 10 years of experience across fields including defense, IT, engineering, human rights, and education. I hold a Master’s degree from the Graduate School of Interpretation and Translation at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies (HUFS), Korea’s top institution for translation and interpretation training.

My major interpretation experience includes:

• Serving as the lead interpreter for the U.S. military base relocation project (C4I infrastructure), where I facilitated communication between the Korean and U.S. Ministries of Defense. I handled high-level meetings, technical discussions, construction coordination, and document translation involving military communication systems.

• Providing on-site and consecutive interpretation for international dignitaries such as the chairman of the Novartis Foundation during the Hanvit Welfare Association’s grand award event and his visit to the National Assembly.

• Supporting foreign executives at Samsung Electronics in the semiconductor procurement team, handling translation and interpretation for SCM, SRM, and VE-related technical content.

In the field of translation, I have:

• Translated numerous UN and human rights-related documents for the National Human Rights Commission of Korea, including formal reports and international correspondence.

• Co-translated a published book titled Shift Your Thinking, and translated various technical and marketing materials.

My core strengths are:

• Accuracy and context-aware translation

• Confidentiality and neutrality, especially in high-stakes or sensitive environments

• Deadline compliance and adaptability

I am proficient in CAT tools such as Trados, and familiar with MTPE workflows. I bring a calm, professional presence to interpretation settings and always strive to deliver nuanced, faithful, and high-quality language services.
