    I am an international development expert with over 15 years of academic and professional experience in gender, human security, and community empowerment. I hold a Master’s degree in International Relations from Sookmyung Women’s University, specializing in Human Security and International Organizations, and a Bachelor’s degree in Child Education and Family Science with a second major in Psychology from Kyungpook National University.

    Throughout my career, I have managed and implemented a wide range of international development projects across Asia and Latin America, working with organizations such as the International Women & Family Foundation (IWFF), Good Neighbors Indonesia, and Amnesty International Chile. My work has focused on promoting gender equality, preventing gender-based violence, and strengthening the economic and social inclusion of marginalized communities. I have collaborated with key development partners including KOICA and the Seoul Metropolitan Government.

    With strong skills in cross-cultural project management, gender analysis, and stakeholder engagement, I am committed to advancing inclusive development and human rights. I am fluent in Korean and have a good command of English and Spanish, and I thrive in multicultural environments where I can contribute to impactful change.
