About

I am currently a student at Leeward Community College about to complete my first year. I am studying sociology here in Hawai'i. I chose Sociology because I find it very interesting and few of my family members went to college for the same thing. I am also a member of the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society. I am a very hard working and determined student who's goal is to finish college with a masters degree and get into a career to provide not only for myself but to give back to my family who supported me along my education journey.

Goals and interests

Career goal

It is my first year of college so I am still deciding on a job path that fits well for me but I am aiming towards social work. By this means I am able to help people, families and communities.

Graduate school interests

After getting a bachelors degree I plan to continue my education and earn a masters degree.

Outside the classroom

My hobbies consist of photography, poetry and listening to music. I've been doing photography for about 3-4 years now and for me it's a way for me to express my creativity side. Some say I have a good eye for good pictures. My second hobby is poetry, this allows me to express my thoughts and feelings which lets me connect to others. I think of it as if I'm writing a song, I can easily match words and be very descriptive in such a few short lines. My last hobby which is listening to music. I listen to music every single day and music has inspired me to be more expressive and it's one of the reasons I write poetry.
