Hobbies
I was a member of the volleyball team at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. I enjoy playing volleyball and coaching others. I love the outdoors and I try to go to the beach and go on hikes as much as I can. I also recently completed a seven month around-the-world adventure where I was able to travel to Asia, Europe, and the UK!
