About Me
My Story
Growing up in Hawai’i, I was taught to live with aloha, a philosophy of love, empathy, and responsibility to care for others. These values shape how I see technology: not just as innovation, but as a way to connect and improve lives. That perspective drew me to product management, where I’ve found purpose in the intersection of technology and the human experience.
Currently, I’m pursuing my Master of Engineering Management at Duke, adding hands-on learning in strategy, product development, and leadership to my technical background from my undergraduate double major in Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science.
As a Product Management Fellow for the Christensen Family Center for Innovation, I mentor aspiring PMs and helped lead the launch of Duke Product Lab. I have hands-on product experience working with BabyBumps, a surrogacy startup, and GameRun, a sports-tech AI startup.
Outside the classroom, I’m a former collegiate basketball and water polo recruit who still loves all things sports, and I’m passionate about storytelling, whether through books, film, or music. I'm an avid reader with an unhealthy love for the Phoenix Suns, and I'm faith-driven, striving to keep God first in all aspects of life.
