CMP 2019 Gala Spirit of Immigrant Award Recipient: Kevin Wang

This week CMP is pleased to introduce our last but equally important honoree:

Spirit of Immigrant Award

Kevin (Guoqiang) Wang

Kevin (Guoqiang) Wang emigrated to the U.S. from Fuzhou, China in 2009. As a new immigrant facing the challenges of language and cultural barriers, he used to work only in low-skilled, low paying jobs.  Just when he felt helpless and hopeless about his future, he was connected to CMP, which opened the first door towards his professional journey. Kevin now is working at MTA as an Assistant Civil Engineer.
