About Jimin Kim

Jimin ‘Mini’ Kim is currently working at Panasonic Energy Corporation helping to build what will be the world’s largest battery factory—producing electric vehicle batteries at an incredible rate of 66 batteries per second. She is also frequently hired for high-profile conventions such as SEMICON, where her interpretation skills are trusted in multi-lingual, fast-paced environments.

Born in Korea, Jimin attended university in China and worked at major companies where she used both Korean and Chinese professionally. After moving to Japan, she expanded her language capabilities to include Mandarin, Japanese, and English—languages she continues to use in her professional work today.

Having lived in the United States for over 15 years, Jimin has supported Korean and Japanese professionals and students in adapting to American life, offering help with cultural integration, professional coaching, and housing solutions. Her extensive global experience uniquely qualifies her to work at the intersection of language and culture.

Jimin also holds certifications in JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test), TOPIK (Test of Proficiency in Korean), and HSK (Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi – Chinese). These certifications underscore her linguistic expertise and commitment to professional standards.

Over the years, she has developed a trusted global network, particularly across the U.S., Korea, and Japan. Through this network, she has helped companies find top talent for roles requiring precise multilingual capabilities, while also supporting individuals with their transitions across countries and cultures.
