I am double majoring in Journalism and Political Science at University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. My deep passion to enlighten others, including myself, drives me; I aim to receive voices who need to be heard and shed light on important matters in a clear and accurate manner. Now, as a Copy Editor for Ka Leo, UHM's student newspaper, and a full-time student, I am pursuing my passion to become a broadcast journalist.
