Grace Shin is a junior at Emory University, majoring in English and minoring in Korean Studies. Growing up as a Korean-American allowed her to first gain knowledge about the humanitarian crisis in North Korea, which later grew into an interest and passion as she heard the story of a North Korean's escape at a LiNK event during her sophomore year of college. This event not only opened her eyes to the seriousness of the situation in North Korea, but also stimulated her desire to take part in the cause. Because she plans on pursuing a career in Korean Studies, she aims to learn more about human rights as well as North-South relations through her internship at HRNK.
