About Me

Versatile

Having grown up in South Korea and Germany, both the Asian and European cultures are close to my heart. Both nationalities are intimately familiar to me in their differences and distinctiveness. My degrees in Korean Studies, Sinology and Economics led to longer stays abroad in both South Korea and Taiwan. I have been privileged to work extensively in many Asian and European countries. I can submit a complete résumé, upon request.

Experienced

I have accumulated experience at the Korean-German Chamber of Commerce in Seoul and as an Audi Consultant Trainer in many Asian counties such as; China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia and Korea.

I have gained deeper insights into Korean corporate culture as an employee of Korean Air Cargo and during my consulting work for Korean companies that have established themselves in Germany.

In addition I have been able to gather extensive experience in German and Korean businesses, in a wide variety of branches, such as Automotive, plant engineering and construction, the aircraft industry, the Chemical industry as well as many others.

Agile

As a result of continuing education and correspondence courses in the areas of Project Management and Mediation and the training to be a Coach, I have been able to continually increase my professional qualifications and knowledge.
