I am majoring in Journalism and minoring in political science at University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. My dedication to enlighten others, including myself, drives me. My passion lies in amplifying voices and uncovering stories that need to be shared. As a staff writer for Ka Leo O Hawai‘i, UH Mānoa’s student newspaper, I’m diving into real stories that impact our community and inspire thought. I have a strong interest in video editing and camera work, which I enjoy incorporating into my storytelling. Balancing my role with full-time studies, I’m focused on growing as a future broadcast journalist, committed to engaging and enlightening others along the way.
