World Trade Center Alaska
Seonja Kwon

   

I’m here in Anchorage as an exchange student. I came here a year ago, and have been studying English, Business, Economics and Russian at the University of Alaska Anchorage. I am originally from South Korea. I am majoring in Russian Trade and Commerce. I lived in Russia to study for one year.  I like living abroad because there is always the chance to do something else, such as participating in this internship at World Trade Center Alaska.

Since my major is Russian Trade and Commerce, I am interested in the natural resources field. Russia has plenty of natural resources, just like Alaska. I am grateful that I have the opportunity to work for WTCAK and Usibelli Coal Mine, Inc. I am excited to start my internship here at WTCAK, and I hope that I can learn more about natural resource industries and experience the real business world during this internship.

Hi!
I’m from Incheon University S. Korea. I’ve been here in Alaska since September 2007. I major Russian Trade and Commerce back in home university and here in Anchorage as an exchange student. I’m a senior in university and have been to Moscow as an exchange student too. So, it’s my second time staying abroad.

As you can find from my little career I like to work in global relationship. It is so exciting working in here WTCAK and I expect to see & learn real international business and trade while I’m staying in here.
Also, I’ll try to practice my university knowledge and want to be little help to facilitate trade between S.Korea and Alaska.

Whenever you have question about Korea, say me “An nyung”(“Hi” in Korean) and I will do my best to be help for you. Bye!!!

My name is Dominique MacGregor, and I came to World Trade Center Alaska (WTCAK) through the Anchorage School District’s Gifted Mentorship Program. I currently attend Robert Service High school and plan to graduate in 2009, after which I hope to gain a degree in International Business and go to work for the United States Peace Corp.

 
Working at WTCAK the last few months has provided an amazing preview of what a job in this field may entail; one I doubt I could gain from anywhere else. I’ve enjoyed my time here at WTCAK, and have learned a lot from everyone there.

Outside of my mentorship, I’m part of the SHS school paper (the Cougarosity), take regular dance classes, and teach skating lessons at Dimond Center Ice Chalet. I also will be part of the 2008 People to People Student Ambassador trip to France, Italy and Greece this summer, which I am very excited about!

I came to Alaska a year ago as an exchange student from the University of Incheon in South Korea. I am studying business at UAA right now, and my major in Korea is Chinese Trading & Commerce. I think that working at World Trade Center Alaska will be a good an opportunity to learn about everyday business in America.

I’m really interested in the relationships between America and countries of the Far East. I heard that Alaska’s top 3 trading partners are Korea, China and Japan. I am really excited that I may be able to attend business conferences and meetings while interning at World Trade Center Alaska.

I like doing things with other people, such as playing sports, games, traveling and even working. So I am truly glad to work with these great people and therefore want to help WTCAK as much as I can. And I also want to make a good memory with them both in and out of office.

I came to Alaska two years ago as an exchange student from Russia. I have accomplished my first BA, Global Logistics. Now I am working on my second degree in Management Information Systems (MIS).
 
I really enjoy working for World Trade Center Alaska (WTCAK). The people I work with are professionals. They encourage me to study new materials and to develop my skills, association services, communication routine, and research practices. WTCAK gives me a great opportunity to experience the business world.
 
I like sports. I have a background in ballroom dancing and in fitness. Besides that, skiing is my second favorite sport. Alaska is an excellent place to ski. After I graduate from UAA I want to move to a different place to have a new experience. I am looking forward to getting my Masters degree in Logistics in the future.

MyungsooI am 25 years old. I am from Korea. I am an exchange student between the University of Alaska  Anchorage and the University of Inchon. My major is Chinese Commerce & Trade. I studied Chinese in China as an exchange student.

I am interested in studying the Far East’s situation related with the U.S. Working with World Trade Center Alaska is a wonderful experience for me because Alaska’s primary trade partners are Japan, Korea and China. I have learned a lot through working here and met cool people.

I like biking. So Anchorage is heaven to me because of its bike trails where I can see salmon and all the beautiful nature. When I was in Beijing, I rode bikes with a lot of people in the morning and evening rush hours. The feelings of riding a bike in Anchorage and Beijing are so wonderful, not to mention gorgeous. I want to go to other countries to bike. Please join me!!
