If it wasn\u2019t for my college freshman Resident Director who encouraged me to apply to be a Resident Advisor, my passion for Student Affairs in higher education would not have been ignited. (Haum\u0101na: be open to new opportunities, you never know how they will impact you.) As a result of the influence my Resident Director had on me, along with other college faculty\/staff and colleagues who contributed to my growth, I strive to be that encourager and supporter to haum\u0101na, helping them build their self-awareness and self-efficacy.<\/p>\n<p>I returned home to be closer to \u2018ohana. I spend my free time cheering on the Golden State Warriors and New York Yankees, traveling, watching cooking shows, doing arts and crafts, or baking. I look forward to partnering with haum\u0101na, their \u2018ohana, and the colleges that they\u2019re attending. I am excited to contribute to Ke Ali\u02bbi Pauahi&#8217;s mission.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Educational Background<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>BA in Liberal Studies with a California Teaching Credential &#8211; University of Redlands<\/li>\n<li>MA in Education- Curriculum &amp; Instruction &#8211; University of Redlands<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Region \/ Kuleana:<\/strong> Hawai\u02bbi Pacific University, Chaminade University, University of Hawai\u02bbi M\u0101noa (Class of 2025: K-N), China, England, South Korea, <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, Maine, Maryland, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>High School:<\/strong> Maryknoll School<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite Food:<\/strong> Vegetarian Burrito from Taqueria El Farolito in Oakland, CA<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite Place in Hawai\u02bbi:<\/strong> Kula, Maui<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best tip for Postsecondary Success:<\/strong> When you may feel overwhelmed, take a breath, reflect on what you can control and what you can\u2019t control.
