VP, Client Experience - Weber Shandwick Korea

When did you start working
at Weber Shandwick?

I started at Weber Shandwick in April 2016.

What’s the best thing you’ve ever seen happen inside the Weber Shandwick offices?

The trips with my Japanese colleagues in Tokyo are unforgettable. They became lifelong friends, even as some of us moved on from the agency. Those moments were a perfect mix of friendship and cultural connection.

In five words or less, how would you describe your Weber Shandwick colleagues?

Curious, fun, open, warm and smart

If you weren’t working in this industry, what would you want to do?

I love traveling, so I’d pursue a career as a professional travel writer or travel influencer. Exploring new cultures, sharing stories, and inspiring others to travel sounds like my dream job!

If there were a Weber Shandwick yearbook, what would your superlative be?

“The Best OliveYoung Professional!” I’m a makeup enthusiast, and OliveYoung is my go-to spot for the best beauty products. If you have a specific skin concern, I can recommend the perfect solution. If you’ve been to Korea and met me before, you’ll know exactly why I should get the title.

What’s the best piece of career advice you’ve ever gotten?

“If you wake up dreading work every morning, it’s time to reassess your path.” Fortunately, I’ve never felt that way since joining Weber Shandwick, and I am not exaggerating.

What’s your favorite thing about Seoul?

I enjoy finding hidden pockets of Seoul that feel like little escapes from the city. Sharing those discoveries with my closest friends is one of my favorite joys.

What’s your favorite way to unwind in your free time?

Traveling and driving. During the pandemic, I found driving to be a therapeutic escape from being cooped up at home. Even now, after working from home for extended periods, I love getting out of my neighborhood, hitting the road and breathing in fresh air.

What is your most-used app on your phone?

Probably KakaoTalk. It’s the lifeline for communication in Korea. I use it daily to chat with family and friends. Plus, the character stickers are so expressive—they say exactly what I feel without words!

Where would you love to travel in the world to gain inspiration?

Iceland is at the top of my bucket list. I want to immerse myself in its wild nature—and, of course, capture tons of incredible photos along the way!

True humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less.
