She is the first woman to become the private secretary to the South Korean president[2] and the first person to have served as private secretary to both the president and their spouse.

Shin was the deputy spokesperson for foreign press at Moon's first presidential campaign in 2012[3] which she joined after working for major law firms - Kim & Chang and Bae, Kim & Lee - and Samsung Engineering.[4] She joined Moon's campaign again in 2017 as his coordinator for personal image.[5] She was foreign press secretary in the beginning of President Moon's term but later reshuffled to private secretary to first lady Kim Jung-sook and now President Moon.[6]

She holds a B.A. in Political Science from the University of Michigan and a J.D. from New York Law School in June 1998.[4][7]
