About

I am a determined and focused multimedia writer/editor based in Seoul, currently working as a deputy copy editor at the Korea Times.I pride myself in not only practicing journalism that is honest, fair, and accurate but also in the fact that I am a versatile investigator ready to answer any questions your readers may have.In my current role, I edit and fact-check online and breaking news stories, processing roughly 15 to 20 articles daily. I am also in charge of copyediting the paper's digital content, such as social media posts and YouTube subtitles.My other professional experiences include working as a breaking news and digital editor for the Korea JoongAng Daily and a copy editor for the English edition of the Hankyoreh, one of Korea's most prominent daily newspapers. I also have experience working as a writing consultant at a study abroad agency where I worked with over 100 students on their college and graduate school applications, including essays and interviews.At the Tufts Daily, my school's financially independent daily newspaper, I've written more than 50 pieces on a number of topics ranging from local politics to art and living, photographed roughly 150 events and engineered a brand new social media department. As the editor-in-chief of the same publication, I oversaw 190 staff members, cut down our operating budget by 25 percent, and resolved a 20,000-dollar-deficit problem, all to ensure we could fulfill our promises to our readers. You should hire me because I offer the editorial acumen and integrity to produce results that meet your readers' expectations. You will get yourself a foot soldier who can multitask, work independently and doesn't give up.
