I'm a Liberal Arts student studying Nursing and I love to help and be involved in my community. I speak three languages, which allows me to connect with more people of different backgrounds and cultures. 

As your ASUH President, my mission is to ensure that every student feels heard, valued, and supported throughout their college journey. I am committed to advocating for your needs, strengthening connections between students and campus leadership, and creating opportunities that foster engagement, belonging, and school spirit. I believe college should be more than just attending classes—it should be a meaningful and memorable experience where every student has the opportunity to grow, connect, and thrive within our Leeward CC community

I describe myself as athletic, adventurous, and community-oriented. I enjoy hiking Oʻahu’s trails, staying active at the gym, and appreciating simple moments like watching the sunrise or sunset. These experiences keep me grounded, motivated, and balanced while helping me maintain a positive outlook in both my personal life and future health career. I am passionate about learning, growing, and giving back to others. Whether through volunteering, community service, or new challenges, I strive to become a stronger leader and a more compassionate person.

I'm currently studying for an associate degree in Liberal Arts with a focus on Environmenmtal Science & Sustainability. I love being involved on campus, and right now I serve as your Vice President for ASUH. In this role, I work to represent and advocate for student voices, help create opportunities for student involvement, and play a part in making positive changes that improve the student experience. My goal as a vice president is to make sure every student feels heard and supported between faculty, staff, and adminstration.

I’ve always been drawn to leadership ever since high school, from class council to student government. I’m also proud to be an Eagle Scout, which taught me the value of service and community, which is something I still carry with me today.

Outside of school, I enjoy playing video games, hiking, going cafe hopping, and hanging out with friends and family. I’m also a big fan of crime movies, inspirational poetry, and I love volunteering whenever I can. More than anything, I look forward to exploring new opportunities and continuing to grow as both a student and a leader.

I am currently pursuing an Associate in Science, Sustainable Agriculture. I have been at Leeward CC for a few semesters (since ~2022) so feel free to ask me for directions if you see me on campus! I have been the lead for IM LeeGaming for 2 years, a space on campus where students can hang out, play games, and get connected. I have also been involved in research projects with Dr. Viviani, one of the Oceanography professors here. I've worked with Grad students and Labs from UH Mānoa, NOAA, and the community around Leeward CC, sorting plankton, making presentations, and sampling water.

I love the outdoors, especially up mauka (the mountains.) I originally went to the mainland to pursue a degree related to wildlife conservation, and ended up working as a zookeeper in Idaho. I returned home determined to get a degree in a field that would keep me in Hawaiʻi and outdoors, and quickly fell back in love with the 'āina, especially traditional farming and conservation efforts rooted in managing native and invasive plants. 

My mission as a student leader is to observe and listen to students, connecting them to resources and turning conversations into action. I model my leadership from the event organizers and activists at the spaces I volunteer with, and from my time in the Boy Scouts, where I earned the rank of Eagle Scout, but more importantly spent weeks of my life learning to respect and protect nature, tradition, and the people around us through service. Mahalo for your support, and please feel free to say aloha and talk story!

I am a Natural Science Major on Engineering pathway. Specifically with a focus on becoming a Mechanical Engineering. I have a strong passion and interest for STEM based occupations and related courses. I have a deep love for engineering and incase I want to further specialize in any specific engineering disciplines I have Mechanical as the broad choice. I love being able to spend time with the people I care for. I would have to say I especially enjoy more physical activities like golfing, hiking and exercising at the gym.

During my time at ASUH I hope to provide easier ways to cultivate meaningful connections, being able to provide fun yet informational events and pursue a more inclusive community. whether that be through event planning, advocacy and support. The ultimate goal I have is to depart knowing a powerful impact was left.

I am a Digital Media Major with Animation & Motion Graphics as my field of study. I love to volunteer and draw art in my free time, and getting involved with my community and participating in events is something I really enjoy doing. Visual work has always been interesting to me because of the many intricate styles and art I have been inspired by. Some other hobbies that excite me is writing, gaming, and reading. 

My goal for ASUH and our campuses is to address student needs and concerns, spread positivity where I can, and to be there for our LCC campuses as both an ASUH senator and as someone who is very open-minded to suggestions and feedback from others!
