Heejin Jung Korean · Spanish · English Interpreter
Korean–Spanish and Korean–English interpreting in Barcelona and across Spain, for delegations, companies and institutions.
About me
I’m a freelance Korean–Spanish and Korean–English interpreter based in Barcelona. I hold a master’s degree in Governance from Universitat Pompeu Fabra, and built my interpreting experience in public institutions and international organisations, including the Consulate General of the Republic of Korea in Barcelona, the UNDP Seoul Policy Centre and the UNITAR Jeju International Training Centre.
In 2026 I’ve interpreted at trade fairs such as MWC and Vitafoods Europe, and at high-level meetings and institutional visits for delegations from the Seoul Metropolitan Government and Gyeongsangbuk-do Provincial Government. I prepare thoroughly for each field — architecture, urban planning, finance, IT, geography — so that my interpreting is accurate and natural, and tailored to what each client needs.
