About

My definition of success is the ability to set goals (long term/short term ) and to achieve them. As a first generation born Tongan American and coming from parents who do not know how to navigate higher education, the necessity for me to have a plan is essential. I am ambitious and dedicated to make my dreams of becoming a dentist come to life. I find balance between school and life all while having a smile on my face coupled with an occasional dance to match it.
