I’m from Kāneʻohe, Oʻahu, and I’m a graduate of Kamehameha High School Kapālama. I enjoy playing my guitar, watching movies, and napping on my free time. My extracurriculars on campus include being a both an active Brother of Delta Sigma Pi (Rho Chi) and Bestie in the Business Executive Society of Tomorrow (BEST) as well as being chosen as a select few to act as academic and professional ambassadors, domestically and internationally, in the Shidler Global Leaders Scholarship. I, along with a few other undergraduates and master’s students, traveled through Japan, China, and Vietnam last summer as part of the Pacific Asian Management Institute’s Asian Field Study Program where we immersed ourselves in each country in order to gain a clearer perspective of the development of global economies at different scales. After graduation, I will be enrolling at the William S. Richardson School of Law in the hopes of pursuing both my Juris Doctor & Master of Business Administration to strive for my dream of having a positive impact on my local community that has made me into who I am today…”
