Fung Feature: Youhee Choi, MEng ’18 (IEOR)
“I’m Youhee Choi, and I was born and raised in Korea. I lived there for 26 years. My background is pretty interesting because I majored in International Studies, worked full-time for three years, and then moved here for my Master’s program in Industrial Engineering and Operations Research (IEOR).

It made me think, okay, maybe I want to give engineering a try too.
