Bio

I am a freelance translator specialising in Korean > English and English > Korean. I achieved the highest level on the Korean proficiency test (TOPIK 6). In addition, I have a Master's degree in Political Science from Korea University (the language of instruction was Korean). I currently live in South Korea and mostly speak Korean in my daily life. For translations in English, I am able to utilise Australian or American English.

In addition to Korean, my Bachelor's degree was in Russian language and I studied at the Pushkin Institute in Moscow for a semester as part of that degree. I am able to translate Russian > English without any problems. 

My area of specialisation is International Relations and Political Science, extending into Political Philosophy and social sciences. My other interests include martial arts, linguistics and music, all of which I am comfortable writing about in English. I am also very familiar with film, television and video games, and would be very comfortable translating these types of content.

I have also learnt a number of other languages throughout my life, and I am comfortable translating from these languages into English. Of these languages, my best are Italian, French, Portuguese and Indonesian. My level in Slovak, Mandarin Chinese, Kazakh, and Mongolian is lower but still enough to translate with the help of a dictionary.

Keywords: Korean, English, international relations, political science, politics, social studies, social sciences, humanities, liberal arts
