She focuses on Korea, translates from Korean, and is the author of books that explore life in this part of the world. Her work moves between research, writing, and public speaking, where she brings attention to topics that rarely reach a wider audience.
Her work is grounded in real human stories. Rather than focusing only on politics, she looks at how people actually live in these conditions – how they think, what they deal with, and how they navigate everyday reality.
She works with testimonies of those who have left North Korea. Their stories offer a rare insight into life in the country – through lived experience, not just outside observation.
