I grew up in the beautiful town of Mililani, Hawaiʻi. There, I developed a deep appreciation for both the mountains and the ocean. Growing up, I spent my time hiking, enjoying the beach, and competing in water polo throughout high school. Those experiences helped shape my love for community, adventure, and personal growth.

I earned my bachelor’s degree in psychology in Portland, Oregon, and later settled in Central Oregon with my husband. Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work with students ages 2–17 in a variety of educational settings, which strengthened my passion for helping young people discover their strengths and pursue their goals.

After moving to Idaho in 2024, I worked as a College and Career Advisor, helping students explore postsecondary opportunities and navigate important decisions about their futures. In 2025, I joined The College of Idaho as an Admissions Counselor, where I have the privilege of helping students find a college community that feels like a home away from home.

As the newest member of the admissions team, I am especially excited to travel, meet new students and families, and share all that The College of Idaho has to offer. I look forward to helping future Yotes discover the opportunities, connections, and experiences that make our campus such a special place.
