Hele au i ke kula nui 'o HPU.
I am a sophmore at Hawai'i Pacific University. I am a marine biology major and a psychology minor. I was born in Turkey and raised by a Dutch mother, first in Germany and then in South Carolina. I spend my summers traveling overseas, lifeguarding, and volunteering. I believe it is very important to try new things and keep an open mind. Thus, I live by the rule of trying everything at least once. When I am not in class, I love to unwind with dance, music, or writing. I treat life like an adventure, making the most of the waves rolled at me.
