Welcome
This website is still under development. I’m a Seoul-based writer, copy editor and proofreader who has worked with words for most of the past 25 years — at newspapers, government organizations, translation companies, and most recently two PR agencies. My work has appeared in The Korea Herald, The Korea Times and Groove Korea.
