Soon-Ae in her own words
‘The mind is like a parachute. It doesn’t work unless it’s open.’ -Frank Zappa
After a 20-year career as a Management Assistant in various sectors, she joined COTTYN’s Belgian branch as a Management Assistant on April 8, 2025. She is very motivated to learn in this particular industry.
I love planning & organizing, problem solving and thinking, variety and challenge, both in my professional and personal life. It has always been a dream to work in a law firm. So “where there’s a will, there’s a way”.
A positive mindset, a fun collegial atmosphere, respect and trust are important values to me.
In addition to my work at COTTYN, I volunteer for a dog and cat shelter and can regularly be found out walking, reading a good book or at the theatre.
