Korean is my native tongue but I read, write, and speak English fluently. My translation work has been featured across the internet from YouTube to blog articles to marketing materials. It's incredible to see English-speaking content creators find success in the Korean market! My translation philosophy is to ensure the message is true to the creator's intent. I find it rewarding that my language ability helps people and businesses in so many ways. I am looking for the opportunity to create value by translating your content into Korean!

I began studying Japanese in seventh grade and graduated from Smith College with a B.A. in Japanese Language and Literature, as well as a Concentration in Translation Studies. My professional translation career began with an internship at a manga publishing company during my time at Smith, and in the years following I have expanded my range into a wide variety of media, including interviews, short stories, poetry, song lyrics, plot documents for fictional works, and mobile games. My hours are extremely flexible. I am meticulous with revisions and formatting standards and dedicated to keeping deadlines, and I bring a deep, lifelong love of creative writing to all localization work I take on, be it translation, editing, or proofreading. I value a sense of connection and collaboration with my clients, since translation at its heart is about communication between people. In fact, some of my favorite work has been in one-on-one passion projects, though clients on a larger scale are naturally very welcome as well; my commitment to polished, nuanced localization is what ultimately drives me, regardless of project size.
