About Me
Kim Han is a retired librarian who worked on contracts with the Canadian Embassy and a number of international organizations in the Netherlands. This included work in the Archives of the International Court of Justice, the judicial arm of the United Nations, where Kim conducted an analysis and a feasibility study to justify the automation of the Court’s antiquated records management system. She then accompanied her husband back home to Ottawa, Canada, upon his retirement and the birth of their first grandchild there.
Upon their return to Canada, rather than retiring, Kim chose to continue working in her fields of study. She worked as a substitute librarian at the Ottawa Public Library for 16 years and volunteered at the local hospital for more than 15. She has a Master’s degree in German literature from Carleton University, as well as a Master’s in Library and Information Science from the University of Western Ontario. Kim is fluent in English, German, Dutch and Indonesian. She also speaks French, although she says her French is not perfect.
Kim developed her love of writing when she worked on a bilingual children’s television show for the CBC in Montreal. She has taken various writing workshops and written articles that were published in magazines and newspapers in Canada and the Netherlands. Kim is the author of the book The Canadian Inuit Dog: Icon of Canada’s North, as well as I Am With You Everywhere, which are dedicated to her daughter.
