Aloha Käkou,

‘O wau ‘o Ashley Makahilahila, he kumu a‘oa‘o wau me ka papa ‘umi kumamäkahi. No Kailua, O‘ahu mai au. Ua puka wau mai ke kula ki‘eki‘e ‘o. Punahou a me ke kula nui ‘o Brigham Young University ma Provo, UT a me ka University of Utah. Hello! I am Ashley Makahilahila, counselor with 11th grade! I join you from the foothills of the mauna Olomana in Ko‘olaupoko, Kailua, O‘ahu. I recently moved back to O‘ahualua from Kïlauea, Kaua‘i. I graduated from BYU-Provo with a degree in Psychology and a Masters in Social Work from the University of Utah. I enjoy going to BBQ’s and camping, traveling, spending time with loved ones, and watching movies. I love working with kids, serving Ke Ali‘i Pauahi and contributing to ka lähui Hawai‘i. I hope to encourage all of our haumäna to be who they are and succeed in what they love. I hope to inspire them to do the following, “the vibration of being who you are and doing what you love is magnetic. You will align everything you need in your life with that energy.”—Maryam Hasnaa.

E holomua käkou! Me ke aloha pumehana,

Kumu Ash
