Born and raised in Pearl City, Hawai'i, I graduated from Stanford University with a B.A. Public Policy ('14), focusing on environmental, energy, and natural resource policy. I also did research on water law, watershed management, and political psychology.

A fellowship in the Philippines sparked my interest in social ventures, program evaluation, and design thinking.

Now, as a millennial idealist committed to public service, I staff U.S. Senator Brian Schatz (D-HI).

On my own time, I enjoy creative writing and reading.
