About
I will graduate from Henry J. Kaiser High School in May 2024, and I intend to then attend college on the mainland. I like to academically challenge myself while also keeping myself busy with a part-time job, sports, and volunteer work. I adapt quickly even in unknown or uncomfortable situations and pick up on new things fast, learning at a high speed. I persevere well even when things get difficult and have proven myself to be hardworking despite struggles, being able to overcome various complications.

- Outside the classroom
I enjoy playing soccer and spending time with my teammates who are like family to me. I have been playing since I was around 4 years old, and despite a major injury currently, it’s still one of my favorite things and has opened so many doors for me. I also love to play the piano which I’ve been learning for more than 10 years. I currently take lessons and take part in semi annual recitals.
