Thank you for the opportunity to share my college goals and aspirations, as well as why I would be a great teammate at any collegiate soccer program. I am just graduated from 'Iolani School in Honolulu, Hawai'i. 'Iolani School (based on the 2022 Niche reviews) is ranked #1 in three categories in Hawaii: Best College Prep Private High Schools in Hawai'i, Best High Schools for STEM in Hawai'i, and Best Private High Schools in Hawai'i.

I started off my senior year at 'Iolani School with a bang. I enrolled in AP Calculus AB, AP Psychology, British Literature, Human Anatomy and Physiology, and continued my studies in 3-D Design. I looked forward to going to school each day and the challenges that awaited me. My goal is to pursue medicine, in either a Physician's Assistant program, Physical Therapy program, or Dental school and I know that the academic rigors of 'Iolani School had and will continue to provide me with the resources to create a seamless pathway towards my college and my eventual career. I enjoy helping people and want to share my successes by giving back to all of the communities who have supported me.

Besides academics, 'Iolani School also boasts one of the best athletic programs in the State that has a tradition for modesty, sportsmanship, and unity. Its motto "One TEAM" is truly something I value and I work hard everyday to help others that surround me become better. As a freshman, I played on the school's JV Soccer team as the starting mid fielder and was promoted to the Varsity team at the conclusion of the JV season. I also had the privilege of traveling to England to play, train, and compete with the Varsity team as only one of two freshmen. I believe my determination, hard work and exhibiting 'Iolani's tradition (modesty, sportsmanship, and unity) during the previous seasons had led to that special invite by the Varsity Soccer coaches to allow me to travel with the team. My hard work ethic, combined with my grit and tenacity make me an ideal college student-athlete. I'm willing to work tremendously hard on and off the field and look forward to continuing my soccer career at the highest level. Through adversity I have learned to be humble and appreciative for what I have, and I know I possess the will to never give up on my dreams, goals, and passions.

You can also view my highlight videos and follow me as I take you on my journey. Trust me, you won't want to miss it.

Stay tuned for exciting news to come.

Mahalo!
