Source text - Korean 우리는 삶을 살아가며 수많은 경험을 하고, 그 안에서 매 순간 선택을 한다. 그 선택이 가져온 사람들과 사건들은 나는 '참 좋았다', '힘들었다', '고됐다' 등으로 표현하곤 했다. 하지만 지금은 그 모든 감정이 하나로 합쳐져, '그래, 잘했어.'로 바뀌었다. 과거의 순간들이 내게 밑거름이 되어, 나는 성장하기도 했고, 때로는 부서지기도 했고, 열매를 맺기도 하면서 지금의 내가 되었다.
Translation - Korean As we walk through life, we encounter countless experiences, making choices at every turn. These choices bring people and moments that I once described as "truly wonderful," "incredibly difficult," or "utterly exhausting." But now, all those complex emotions have settled into a single acknowledgment: "Yes, you did well."
These past moments have become the soil for my growth. Like a resilient tree, I've experienced seasons of strength, times when I was nearly broken, and moments when I bore fruit. Each experience has carefully shaped the person I am today.

Translation - Korean Life is full of surprises, but the biggest one of all is learning what it takes to handle them.

Bio
Hi, I'm Jenna. When I moved to the U.S. at 14, I faced the challenge of learning a new language and adapting to a completely different culture. It was tough, but it also showed me how powerful language can be in building connections and understanding between people. That experience sparked my passion for bridging cultures, a passion that has stayed with me throughout my life. Since then, I’ve lived and worked in the U.S., Hong Kong, Singapore, and Korea, each experience giving me a deeper appreciation for how language brings people together.
I started my career as an interior designer, spending nearly a decade building my skills in creativity, attention to detail, and problem-solving. Those skills laid the foundation for my transition into creating educational content for English learners. Over the years, I’ve developed books, videos, and materials designed to make learning effective and enjoyable. I also gained experience in translation, learning how to balance accuracy with cultural nuance to make content truly meaningful.
As I move further into professional localization, I bring a mix of skills and perspectives that go beyond just translating words. My focus is on ensuring that content is relatable and culturally appropriate while maintaining the original message and emotion.
I’m excited about the chance to bring my skills and experiences to new projects and make a positive impact. I’m looking forward to the opportunity to collaborate and contribute.
