Undergraduate: Chaminade University of Honolulu

Medical School: A.T. Still University – School of Osteopathic Medicine in Arizona

Clinical Interest: Full-spectrum Family Medicine, LGBTQ Health

I grew up in Hawaii and developed a passion in science and medicine at a young age. I attended Chaminade University of Honolulu, where I majored in Biochemistry. While in undergrad, I continued to explore my interest in medicine by participating in Summer Explore Med Program in California by Keck Graduate Institute. During my time there, I was able to shadow many physicians in the Pomona area. I then moved to Mesa, Arizona to attend Medical School at A.T. Still University - School of Osteopathic Medicine. I moved back to Hawaii during my second year of medical school as part of the community health center partnership, where I continued to explore many specialties. Eventually, I realized that I enjoyed every rotation and always thought of how I can incorporate each specialty into family medicine. I am beyond excited to move back to Arizona and start my journey as a resident physician who continues to serve the underserved community.

In my free time, I enjoy playing video games, reading, exploring new foods/restaurants, and playing with dogs.
