Presentation

As a native Korean, I’m glad to be a recent English-Korean translator, proofreader and interpreter at Northvolt (Europe’s largest battery company) and Blizzard (an American video game company), with a diverse translation/localization career that includes the United Nations, the African Development Bank, an international event company and NGOs.
I wrote several short papers in English during my MA in International Development after earning a BA in Iranian Studies.
I'm willing to translate, localize, proofread and edit your products in a fast, kind and detailed manner.
