K-Identity explores the identity issues through an interview with a variety of second-generation Korean Australian professionals working in various fields of the Australian mainstream. Audrey Yeom is a Qantas flight attendant with 10 years experience.


Audrey Yeom, born in Korea, moved to Australia with her family when she was ten years old. At that time, she admired flight attendants in uniforms and since then has yearned to be a flight attendant. After she graduated from Sydney University with an Arts degree majoring in Japanese, she was employed as a Japanese-speaking flight attendant with Qantas, and has been working for 10 years.

 

Audrey said her competitiveness was that she is trilingual - English, Korean and Japanese - and encouraged young Korean Australians to learn different languages and develop their understanding of cultural diversity, to live in the multicultural society.
