I have a variety of experiences and interests as you can see my resume below. In terms of translating experience, although I have B.A. in English translation and interpretation, I have not done much work in this area as I have pursued different majors (philosophy and education) after earning my B.A.

In 2002, I have once translated about 100-page English texts in the field of clothing & textile to Korean for a doctoral student in a graduate school in Korea for her research and dissertation.

My strengths in translation and interpretation are, I think, my linguistic and cultural sensitivity derived from various experiences in different cultures and my knowledge in various fields, two of I have studied in depth through my graduate studies.

Please see my resume below for my experiences and strength.
