My name is Jun, Je Jung. I am 25 years old and I have some experience working in America. That means I can speak English that is good enough to talk with people, share ideas and translate accurately.

I always wanted to work with an NGO and I’d heard about Greenpeace and greatly respect their work. When my professor told me that Greenpeace needed someone who can speak Korean and English who could be in Ulsan (which is 5 hours away from where I live) that sounded like a great job for me.

It is hard to believe that I am a translator working with Greenpeace on this campaign. But it is true! Even though I make a few mistakes (even now) I am here at the Whale Embassy and it is special Karma for me.
