Hi, I’m Archana. I translate from Korean into English.
My background is in science and I’m a learning experience designer in my day job but I’ve always held a deep love for writing, reading, and learning languages. I began learning Korean over fifteen years ago and started translating contemporary Korean literature in 2019.
In 2022, I was selected as the Korean poetry mentee for the American Literary Translators Association’s Emerging Translators Program; during my mentorship, I translated poetry from 아마도 아프리카 (Maybe Africa) by Lee Jenny under the guidance of Jack Jung.
