I’m a Global Content Sourcing and Design Operations Manager with an educational background in Global Korean Studies and Media & Entertainment, specializing in media and design projects. From managing creatives to optimizing workflows, I thrive in bringing structure to creative processes and ensuring projects run smoothly. Having lived in India, Germany, Italy, Spain, and now South Korea, I’ve developed a strong appreciation for different cultures and empathy This global perspective helps me work seamlessly with diverse teams and bring fresh ideas to every project. Sustainability is also a big part of who I am. I’m a strong advocate for greener living and continuously try to make small lifestyle changes that reduce my impact on the environment. My hope is to one day carry this passion into my professional work as well. Outside of work, I’m a self-proclaimed professional binge-watcher and an avid consumer of all things media—films, TV shows, digital content, you name it. I also love staying active, with tennis, running, and weight training being my go-to sports! In 2024, I became a dog mom to little miss Coco, and I also actively foster shelter pups until they find their furever homes. It’s been a rewarding (and often chaotic and exhausting) experience that has taught me patience, resilience, and adaptability—skills that come in handy in more ways than you’d expect! Always looking for exciting projects, new collaborations, and ways to make creative workflows more efficient. Let’s connect!
