Freelance Korean-English Translator and Editor

Profile Summary

The quality of writing can make or break a project. The correct tone of speech, word choice, and grammar can determine if others will listen to your message, particularly in translation work, where the nuances and colloquialisms are easy to miss. I can provide top-quality service to give you the writing that you want for an affordable price. A little about me -- I started studying Korean during university, earning a minor in Korean Studies. I continued with my interest in the language, moving to Korea for three years, engrossing myself in the Korean language for approximately eight years. My experience as a student of science and language and as an English teacher has provided me with the necessary skills to translate, edit, and proofread Korean to English with accuracy and colloquialisms that can only be achieved by a native speaker. My research background allows me not to be limited by the context of the work and instead focus on providing the best quality writing to my clients. I have worked with international companies providing proofreading and editing expertise. Some examples of projects I have worked on include marketing the US launch of a Korean men’s skincare brand and editing the English version of a children’s book about world travel. During this time, I also completed a Korean language and immigration program equivalent to receiving a TOPIK level 5/6 -- the highest level of the Korean proficiency test. I’m dedicated, detail-orientated, and, best of all, have the free time to devote to your project. Whatever your writing needs may be, I will be able to rise to (and, hopefully, surpass) your expectations.
