Aloha! I have been born and raised in Hawaii and love my island home. I received my Bachelor's in Environmental Studies and now work for environmental non-profits in policy work. My mission in life is to travel and help people and the environment.

Interests

- I love spending time with my family, friends, and fiancé, being outdoors, hiking and going to the beach.

- I enjoy eating vegetarian, learning new things, watching movies, singing karaoke, meditating, and relaxing at home.

-I am passionate about the environment and very involved with conservation and sustainability issues in Hawaii.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: I love the Star Wars and Lord of the Rings series. I also love cult classics like Pulp Fiction, a Clockwork Orange, and Trainspotting. Also into watching documentaries about the world and the environment, and love comedies and animated movies!

Music: Grew up with a hippie father who raised me to love rock and roll and jazz, but I myself love underground hip hop and rap (not the junk they play on the radio nowadays), chill electronic dance music, and anyone with a lovely voice.

Books: I read a lot of fiction. The most influential book I've read growing up was probably The Alchemist and another more recent favorite is Shantaram.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-I did a RV road trip across the United States with 10 friends, camping and hiking in 8 National Parks.

- I did 4 month solo backpacking trip to Central and South America in Fall 2015. This was the first time I used couch surfing and I loved the experience of meeting wonderful hosts and enjoying the local culture.

-I have modeled in Japan, the mainland USA, and in Hawaii...I've done some cool and interesting commercials, photoshoots, and runway work.
