I am from Waikoloa on the beautiful Big Island of Hawaii. I served as the Big Island representative to the Hawaii State Student Council in High School where I had the opportunity to work closely with the Hawaii State Senate and Governor on legislation regarding education. I moved to Los Angeles at the age of 17 to attend the University of Southern California. I am also a former Disneyland entertainment cast member.
