I would like to thank my family, my friends, my professors, and all staff at UH Hilo who supported my journey always with aloha nui. All of you are my mentors and my inspirations. I am really grateful to have had the life-changing opportunity to meet you all. I was really lucky to be able to come to Hilo and to be surrounded by so many great people who are aiming toward the same goal proactively. I would never be able to graduate without your support. Mahalo nui.

E hoʻomau ana nō au i ka ʻimi naʻauao me ka ʻike i aʻo ʻia ma ke kulanui o Hawaiʻi ma Hilo.
I will continue learning with the knowledge that was taught at the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo.
Share the Aloha!
