Kainoa Reponte
Kainoa was born and raised in Lahaina on the island of Maui. After graduating from Lahainaluna High, Kainoa began his journey at the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa in Fall 2015. He is currently pursuing Bachelor of Business Administration degrees in Marketing and International Business, as well as a Bachelor of Arts in French Language and Literature. In his first semester, he joined the Resident Hall Association and served as the Marketing Coordinator for the Mokihana Freshmen tower. In addition, he pledged for Delta Sigma Pi Rho Chi, a professional co-ed business fraternity, and severed as the Eta Pledge Class Chancellor and the following semester as the Historian for the Rho Chi chapter at large. During the summer of 2016, Kainoa started training to become a Mānoa Peer Advisor (MPA). In Fall 2016, Kainoa started working at the Mānoa Advising Center (MAC) as an MPA. During the past two years, Kainoa has grown into leadership positions both at MAC and the MPA Program, as a Student Coordinator for the Mānoa Advising Center and Peer Advisor Leader for the MPA Program at large. Despite original plans to transfer to a university on the continent, Kainoa found his place on the Mānoa campus from being heavily involved and creating a memorable, fulfilling college experience. In the future, Kainoa hopes to become a Creative Director at an advertising agency where he can blend design with strategy.
