Favorite moment from high school?

I am thankful for all of the experiences and opportunities I have received as a beneficiary to the Legacy of Pauahi. During my time in High School, I had the pleasure of serving as the Class Treasure during my Sophomore year, and during my Junior and Senior years, I served as Class President. This opportunity to serve and the fruitful experiences I have endured have shaped me into the individual I am today. I enjoyed working alongside so many likeminded individuals, driven by their love and compassion to serving our school and the greater community. My love for my class, Hīhīmanu a Kāne, and our Princess Pauahi are forever!


Most influential adult throughout my K-12 journey:

Aunty Jodie and Kumu Pōmaikaʻi


What are you most looking forward to?

I am looking forward to embarking on a new journey in my post-secondary education and then entering the professional world as a Dentist. I hope to return home to Hawai'i and ultimately give back to the community that has given me so much. I look forward to the future ahead and to seeing my Hīhīmanu grow into the amazing individuals they are destined to become.
