Jaehong Kim

Jaehong Kim is currently a senior at the University of Maryland College Park majoring in computer science. He had the opportunity to gain leadership experience in the military as a squad leader and NCOIC (Non-Commissioned Officer In Charge) of a budget shop. He loved working with soldiers because of the teamwork and the opportunity to mentor them to successful paths. Jaehong learned that a lot of software engineers work together as a team, which allowed him to grow a strong passion for this academic field. He feels very fortunate to study at UMD because he has had an opportunity to meet great friends, who are always willing to help or seek help when in need, which has helped him adapt to academic life.
