From being born and raised in Ewa Beach, O'ahu, to flying to Lacey Washington for college, I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Educational Studies at Saint Martin's University. Throughout my time as a Resident Assistant there, I worked to create a supportive and inclusive environment for all residents. I organized various events that promoted diversity and inclusion, fostering a sense of community among students. I learned to always bring my culture with me and to continuously show up as my authentic self, no matter where I go. 

I transitioned into higher education because I want to give students a warm, welcoming space to think, navigate their college careers, and have their experiences be validated. I want students to have access to resources that they all deserve, and want to give them a safe, trusting environment to be in. 

When I'm not responding to emails, I love to travel, watch anime, play soccer, and discover different food spots around the city! I also enjoy a farmer's market, street fair, or festival with tons of arts and crafts to decorate my home with.
