About Katherine Koba
Everything I enjoy comes down to words, details, and helping and educating others.
In my work life, I'm a professional Swedish -> English translator. I work with corporate documents: everything from annual and interim reports to internal memos to press releases. I was a freelance copyeditor and ESL tutor before that. Before that I spent two years teaching English at cram schools in South Korea, and before THAT I was a cave tour guide.
In my fun life, I co-organize a local writing Meetup, translate semi-obscure Swedish women writers into English, and read a lot. I also work on my own writing projects, which tend to be character-driven SF/F and literary novels. I'm a bit of a language nerd, too; I study Russian and Korean in my spare time, and try to keep up my high school German and college French. I also like to surprise people with postcards and tea and other fun things in the mail!

Joshua received unit of Spruce Up Your Simbi Copywriting! from Katherine
Jun 16, 2021Katherine was incredibly helpful. I have worked with her before and I know her to be a woman of quality and consideration though I did not know of he...r skill with editing and copywriting. I am no novice in writing and she was able to find some weak spots that I've been hammered on since university (being redundant) and she was able to find themes and connections to subject matter and my audience analysis by asking good questions and applying her understanding of core concepts. She gave me the sort of help I would expect from my professors at University. And when I spoke to her in mechanical language, she totally got it and there was not a beat missed. I am very impressed and I encourage anyone to take the chance to work with Katherine on this or any of her projects. Also, she's kind and really goes the extra mile on things. Do yourself a favor and work with her! =) show more

Dania received unit of M o o d Tarot: 3-Card Reading from Katherine
Apr 07, 2021Immaculate perceptivity and intution!!!! She could see/sense my aqaurius sun within the first few sentences :D! A damned cool first in my experiences ...with the tarot!! Brilliantly thoughtful and thorough interpretation of both the cards in isolation and in combination, which has helped reaffirm source's messages /prompts and begun to provide me with a framework for strategizing and moving forwards! As an infinitely voracious and curious intellect I really appreciated the fact she explains the elemental and zodiac sign associated with each of the cards, of course giving you more potential self/astrology/synchronistic resonance and insight which is always welcome :D!! Wonderfully friendly and personable, I highly reccomend <3!!!!! ^^!!!!!!show more
