Eun’s career has taken her across Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, and other regions where she has worked on migration, protection, border governance, transnational crime, and humanitarian response. She is known for her ability to connect high-level discussions with the operational realities faced by immigration officers, border authorities, and law enforcement personnel on the ground.

Eun leads border and migration management programmes, strengthening border governance to modernise border systems and improve frontline capabilities in areas such as traveller assessment, screening & referral, intelligence-led targeting, document examination, victim identification, interagency coordination and corruption. Through her regional training programmes and technical workshops, she has supported the capacity development of hundreds of frontline practitioners across the Asia–Pacific region.
She also coordinates the annual RSO Border Forum, which brings together senior officials to address emerging border security challenges.

Before joining the RSO, Eun managed humanitarian funding and due diligence for UNOPS and the UK government in Myanmar, and served as a Specialist on Foreign Affairs and Security for the Korean Government Presidential Council. Her career also includes coordinating emergency responses with Oxfam in Bangladesh and supporting UNOCHA operations in Afghanistan and Panama. Having started her international career with UNHCR in Mexico, Eun uses this diverse background in diplomacy and field operations to build the cross-border partnerships necessary for effective border governance.
