I'm a full-time professional translator & freelancer currently located in a beautiful island in South Korea, Jeju. I have a degree in marketing & accounting, and lived overseas for about 7 years (6 years in USA - California, Ohio, 1 year in Paris). I am a native both in English and Korean. I have experience as a translator for about 20 years, both in Korean to English and English to Korean. Also, I have been working for a trading company for about 7 years, specializing searching and negotiation for an exclusive contract for cosmetic brands, especially in EU. Most of my translation work include the followings. - Business report, accounting report, etc. - Thesis, scientific report, etc. - All medical documents - Videos (including sync work and subtitling) - Books (fiction, nonfiction, etc.) Through my career as a professional translator for over 20 years, I've never missed a deadline, and I feel that the most important element that a professional translator must have is to think in the client's position to translate on need. I've had 20 years of experience in all fields, even translating the speech for the UN Secretary General, Ban Ki-Moon, and also translating for the Korean government. I would be most honored and privileged to work with you. Thank you. God bless you~!
