With a decade of experience in theological studies and academia, she uniquely bridges academic and literary translations. She has translated the biography of a renowned Korean shaman and completed commissioned works for boutique presses and individuals preserving cultural heirlooms and family narratives.
A recipient of the prestigious Daesan Foundation grant in 2024, she is currently translating Oh, Jejudo
(제주도우다), the three-volume epic novel by Hyun Ki-young.
