FIRST CLASS INTERPRETATION!
I'm a native speaker in Korean who received early education and higher education in English speaking countries - I have 25+ yrs of translating/interpreting, and teaching experience.
I worked in Business and Marketing sector during the last 8 years. Business/marketing jargons are some of my favorite words that I enjoy to work with. However, a great amount of my past work also involves science/medical translation, technical/engineering translation, and also translation of art and history related documents.
