Please introduce yourself!

[Marie Frenette]

Hello Blood Connections volunteers!


Since we don't all know each other, why don't we all introduce
ourselves and why we are interested in helping out with Blood
Connections?


My name is Marie Frenette, I'm Canadian and am working for the Korea
Tourism Organization on their visitkorea website and their facebook
page. This journey started for me with an email requesting b- blood
donations. And it has brought me to here! The opening of the Blood
Connections collaboration group.

I hope Blood Connections is able to make a real long term impact on
the lives of Koreans and foreign people living in Korea though
awareness raising campaigns, rare blood donor programs, and the
publishing of multi-lingual donation materials.

Hi everybody.

I'm Corinne. I'm also Canadian, and I work at a public middle school
in Suwon.

Once upon a time I was a very good student of French and Spanish, but
I'm no longer skilled enough to translate *into* those languages, so I
have offered to help out as an editor. I've worked as a radio news
writer/editor, a student newspaper editor, a website editor, etc.,
etc. It's not a chosen vocation-- it's just what I always end up
doing!

Cheers!

[Bridget McGregor]

Hi!

I'm Bridget (yet another Canadian!), but I work at a university in
Seoul. I've been here for 4.5 years and expect to be here for many
more.

For now I'll just be meeting with everyone online because I'm getting
close my 3 (yes 3!!!!) wedding ceremonies, but I'm excited to try and
contribute when I can. I spend my life teaching writing and editing
students' papers, so I'll try to share those skills with this group.

[Jane Lee]

Hi Everyone,

I'm Jane and currently live in LA (though I'm trying to relocate to Seoul!) and have intermediate Korean language skills.  I'm a native English speaker, so I believe I can contribute in an English Editor capacity. I'm also familiar with common syntactic and grammatical errors found in Korean->English translations so it'll be easy to clean up those nuances as well.

Nice to meet you :-)

Hey guys.

I'm Jason, Ji. I'm a pure Korean! I'm doing some translations for
Blood Connection. It's not too easy, considering that my English
skills are just good enough to order a cup of green tea at Starbucks,
but i'm doing my best. It's good that we've got experienced
editors. :)

I was in Australia for two years. Oh here is one story. When i first
went there, i couldn't order a sandwich at Subway. And now, 2 years
from then, I'm doing translations for Blood Connection. Isn't this
funny? haha.

Well, nice to meet you all and hope we can do a great job.
