FinalistBio
Living on the island of Oahu, there was limited wiggle room to explore the world around me. This limitation sparked my passion for solo travel across the U.S. and my compelling desire to design travel itineraries even with no flight in sight. During these solo travels, I particularly cherished my time in Boston. Driven by my desire to escape a complacent life, I am transferring from my local college to Boston University for personal and career growth. To support my education expenses, I work two jobs that demand significant business management skills. Alongside this, I harbor a keen interest in the realm of psychology, and I aim to jointly integrate both these studies into a job of HR management. My journey began with over 100 hours of volunteer work and becoming the president of a Key Club as a freshman in high school. Today, I persistently demonstrate my dedication by working 25-35 hours a week, while managing my dad's Asian convenience store and volunteering. My unwavering commitment to my education, family, and community is elucidated by my strong work ethic and time management. It has allowed me to explore different avenues in life while enriching my interpersonal and technical skills. Thus, inspiring my interest in HR principles regarding organizational psychology, management practices, and the other various facets of human resources. As well as, a raw passion for fostering equity, diversity, and inclusion in the workplace. In addition to my interest in pursuing a job in HR, I enjoy hanging out with my dog, Koko, playing tennis, and volunteering at local events.
