Welcome, curious visitor!

To share what I’ve been doing with the wider world, unburdened by the pressures of professional scrutiny and perfectionist expectations, I have begun documenting some of my recent research and translation work in the form of voice recordings. Please enjoy this small collection that I have made available here for your listening, and feel free to contact me at yoonjeongrh@gmail.com with any comments, questions, or issues in accessing the webpage. I am also open to remote or Boston-based jobs and/or volunteering opportunities.
