• Maui High School

• Grade: 12 / GPA: 4.167

AP: Statistics

• Sports: Surfing, Soccer

• Future Plans: I plan to continue my education at the University of Hawaii at Manoa and study abroad in the business field.

I would like to somehow play college soccer if possible for my freshman year of college. If not, I will continue to surf and if there's some type of team or club I would probably join.

• Sports Lessons: I enjoy the adrenaline and that feeling of pushing yourself. I think it is the best feeling in the world. I also enjoy the environment of being an athlete, you get to connect with many great people.

Being an athlete has taught me persistence, perseverance, and that you are capable of anything if you believe in yourself. I think being an athlete can be very tiring and challenging, but that's what makes it interesting and fun.
