As a legislative analyst at the Hawai'i State Capitol, I do research to help lawmakers make informed spending decisions for the people of Hawai'i.

Born and raised in Waipahu, I earned a B.A. in Public Policy from Stanford University ('14) with honors in Environmental Science, Technology, and Policy.

A social impact fellowship in the Philippines sparked my interest in social ventures, design thinking, and specialty coffee.

For the next three years, I went on to assist in community outreach for U.S. Senator Brian Schatz (D-HI).

I enjoy reading, and I am studying creative writing through Pacific Lutheran University's Rainier Writing Workshop.
