Leesoo Kim
Video Production Technician and Programs Assistant
Simply put, Leesoo is fascinating. He has multiple talents from woodworking and architectural drawing, to video filming and production, to pastoral care and student support (which he gives to our Korean students as part of his role at Northwest). He has been involved in emergency response work: supporting Syrian refugees in Turkey; earthquakes in China, Nepal and Haiti; and, the tsunami in Japan. In each case he arrived in the country before government and humanitarian aid agencies to film footage to show the agencies the extent of damage and devastation. Leesoo is a man of courage, faith, compassion, and humility.
