Summary
With a fervent dedication to preserving the authenticity and entertainment value of subtitles while ensuring their resonance with global audiences, I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to the expansion of Korean feature films and episodic projects into a more international landscape.
Having lived in culturally diverse countries such as Mexico, Kuwait, Denmark, Qatar, and Australia, I have developed a deep appreciation for the nuances of language and culture. This firsthand experience has honed my ability to navigate the intricacies of localization with sensitivity and precision. My academic background in International Studies and a Master's degree in Theatre and Performing Arts has equipped me with a profound understanding of the international political landscape and the intricate interplay between cultures, social media, and the performing arts.
Throughout my career, I have demonstrated proficiency in leadership, operational efficiency, and executive decision-making. Whether leading teams or spearheading complex localization projects, I consistently prioritize excellence and innovation. My commitment to personal growth is unwavering, fueled by a relentless pursuit of perfection and a propensity for self-reflection, while constantly pushing boundaries through the promotion of collaborative with team members and all involved parties.
