I am thankful that I had the privilege of studying with Wounggeun (Kenny). He is an extremely hard worker, going above and beyond expectations, as well as a positive leader, and someone that I could trust. Throughout our university career he was one of the most attentive and interested students in all of our classes and I admired and replicated his positive outlook to our university program. Wounggeun strives for excellence around each corner, and would be a great asset to any firm.
