Korean commercial interpreter, developing effective trade for businesses

Hello. I am Mai Thi Doan (Yoan). Korean is my favorite language and one of my greatest strengths.

I have over 10 years of interpretation experience, graduated from the Department of Korean Studies at Ho Chi Minh City University of Social Sciences and Humanities, and obtained a master's degree from Chung-Ang University.

I have participated in various projects such as conference interpretation, specialized document interpretation, and simultaneous interpretation, building in-depth knowledge of Korean grammar, vocabulary, and culture. I am particularly skilled in interpretation for trade and business events.

• Conference Interpretation: I participate in interpreting for both large and small events to ensure information is conveyed accurately and fluently. 
• Document Interpretation: I interpret specialized documents such as contracts, reports, and technical documents with high accuracy. 
• Simultaneous Interpretation: I provide simultaneous interpretation at meetings, seminars, etc., to facilitate smooth proceedings. 

Currently, I am working as a freelance interpreter in Ho Chi Minh City and nearby areas (Dong Nai, Binh Duong). Recently, I worked on a project translating a cooperation contract between Ho Chi Minh City Television Station (VTV9) and Afield Group from Korea into Korean.

I am confident that based on my quick adaptability, independent work ability, and high sense of responsibility, I can provide high-quality, accurate, and professional interpretation services that meet all client needs.
