Work With Me
I work as a conduit between organisations that want to engage with Korea and the affected communities at the heart of the issue.
I bring the rare combination of deep community access, frontline advocacy experience, and programme management skills to turn your vision into impact.
If your work touches Korea — North or South, its diaspora, or its borders, I can help. Whether you need a speaker, a panel moderator, a workshop facilitator, an expert reviewer to vet your report for accuracy, or a strategic partner to design and deliver an intervention, I would love to hear from you.
