I'm Hyein Kang, a first-year transfer student from Irvine Valley College majoring in Education and Social Transformation. Before community college, I attended CSU Long Beach. I consider Orange County, Kansas, and Korea my homes.

My passion lies in helping students achieve their best and fostering an inclusive environment. I've gained valuable experience as an instructional assistant in public elementary schools and the private sector. Currently, I'm involved in a project at Seeds of Empowerment, working to provide educational opportunities to underserved communities.

As a STOMP Coordinator, I'm excited to build a welcoming community and make resources more accessible for current and prospective transfer students. Let's work together to reach our full potential!
