I have a variety of experience in different fields, which I think can help me understand a wide range of tasks and learn any kind of new work easily. For the past few years, I have been working as a content marketer, a visual designer, and a front-end developer. And I am currently teaching English to middle and high school students in South Korea. Every time I tried unfamiliar jobs, I studied everything required in new fields on my own. I believe that those experiences have helped me to develop an adaptability and initiative attitude. Moreover, I am a very detail-oriented and responsible person. This personality would be essential, especially for freelancers like me who have to meet a specific deadline without face-to-face communication. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

My major is Tourism Management, which enables me to translate Tourism and Marketing field. In 2018, after I came back to Korea from London, I finished the translation course from TheLine academy.

My recent job was a shop assistant role at Lush in London where I was responsible for interpreting from English to Korean and from Korean to English for Korean customers.

I have worked as a freelance translator for 3 years here on Upwork and as an English tutor for TOEIC and CSAT for over 5 years (the National College Entrance Exam in Korea). There are three things I think are most important when it comes to translation. First of all, it's correctness. I will provide you with an accurate translation. I will translate to deliver the exact meaning and tone, not a word-for-word translation. To translate articles precisely, I always do thorough research with some materials written by professors or experts. The second is communication. I am always open to talking to you and ready to discuss a task/project and accept your input. Last but not least, I always meet a deadline. No matter how urgent it is, I try my best to meet a deadline and never miss it. If you think I am the person you would like to work with, feel free to contact me. Q&A How much do I translate a day - I can deal with 2,000 to 5,000 words per day (depending on the project). The ideal volume per day is 3,000 for the highest quality. I will try my best to live up to clients' expectations. Best wishes.
