🌺 From Maui to New York
Born March 5, 2003 in Maui, Hawaii. Grew up in Launiupoko at the base of a mountain, surrounded by the ocean, a dragon fruit farm, a plumeria farm, and neighbors who were basically family. Moved to New York at 9 years old (with a pit stop in Florida for almost a year). Culture shock was real. Adapted anyway.
Now an ECE student at NYIT graduating May 2026. Six years of hands-on work across EV systems, solar energy, IT, and live A/V. Future goal: own a professional go-kart track someday. Current goal: graduate and get to work. (Both feel equally far away some days.)
