Born in 1970 and hailing from Gwangju, Park graduated from Yonsei University with a degree in law and started her career as a prosecutor after completing the 29th class of the Judicial Research and Training Institute. She has held various positions, including Director of the Victim Rights Division at the Supreme Prosecutors' Office, Chief of the Administrative Affairs Division at the Central District Prosecutors' Office, Team Leader of the Prosecutorial Reform Promotion Team at the Supreme Prosecutors' Office, Deputy Chief Prosecutor at the Daejeon and Chuncheon District Prosecutors' Offices, and Head of the Criminal Division at the Seoul High Prosecutors' Office.

Park is recognized as the first female prosecutor to work in the Prosecutor's Office of the Ministry of Justice. After her retirement, she worked at the law firm Bae, Kim & Lee and served as a special prosecutor in the insurrection case, where she also took on a role in media relations.
