Starting as a copywriter and content writer 4 1/2 years ago at Xplor Education, I became the Marketing Team Lead within 6 months, leading a team of 10. While retaining my copywriting and proofreading duties, I was tasked with planning, executing, and delivering campaigns and projects on time for four childcare brands, ensuring consistent voice, brand alignment, and timely delivery across digital and print channels. Backed by +25 years of teaching EFL (English as a Foreign Language) and +15 years of proofreading subtitles translated into English, I have spent most of my career finding and fixing mistakes in English. As a copywriter, this ensures the copy you receive will not only be well written, but professional and error-free. As a former EFL instructor, I am especially well suited to help non-native English speakers with their copy. I have spent a quarter of a century helping students find the words they need to express themselves, which allows me to represent your brand the way you want.

Korean-English Translator | Children’s Books & Literary Works Hi there! I’m a Korean-English translator and ESL teacher with a deep love for words, rhythm, and storytelling. As an English instructor for young learners, I’ve developed a strong sense of how language should feel — not just what it means. This allows me to translate not only accurately, but also with the same warmth, humor, and nuance as the original text. Before becoming a teacher, I worked at the Prosecutor’s Office in South Korea, where precision, confidentiality, and strict time management were essential. That experience shaped me into a detail-oriented professional who values accuracy and reliability above all else — qualities that naturally extend into my translation work. I’ve translated various types of educational and literary content outside of Upwork, including children’s books and creative essays. I understand that literary translation isn’t just about converting words — it’s about carrying emotion, tone, and intention across languages. I’m punctual, organized, and open to feedback. Currently based in South Korea (GMT+9), I’m available during weekday mornings and late evenings, and I can work full-time on weekends for larger or time-sensitive projects. If you’re looking for someone who can bring your story to life in Korean with cultural sensitivity and natural flow — while meeting every deadline with precision — I’d love to collaborate with you.
