Work Experiences
I am an aspiring finance professional and want to work my way up to becoming a hedge fund manager. Through different opportunities, I have become a well rounded young professional.
Virtual Student Experiences
Executive Director 2020 - Present
Virtual Student Experiences (VSE) was created when COVID-19 caused my school to transfer to online learning. As a student of one of Hawaii's top schools, I was disappointed that some of my classes that met once per week sometimes lasted less than 10 minutes per day. I decided to take the extra time that I was presented with and embark on a transformative journey that would put my leadership and organizational skills to the test.
​​
The goal of VSE is to become a global platform that schools use in order to further students’ education
beyond the classroom and in the real world. VSE hopes students will take the skills and advice given to
them by our guest professionals and implement changes into their life to become the most successful
version of themselves.
​
As the Executive Director for Virtual Student Experiences, I recruited our team, designed the website, managed all of the business-related communications, created webinars, and moderated webinars. I also managed our team of students to make sure that everyone was up to date, learning, and gaining valuable skills.

AKAMAI Capital
Junior Analyst 2019
AKAMAI Capital is the hedge fund arm of a program called Akamai Academy. The hedge fund is run as an opportunity for students to gain experience in interacting with professional fund managers, strategy development, analyst reports, and more. As a Junior Analyst, I was able to sit in on fund meetings and listen to conversations that turned into fund positions. Watching AKAMAI Capital place orders was an exilerating experience that I never got tired of.
Nalukai Startup Camp
Student Founder and Mentor 2019
Nalukai is a free 10 day business intensive camp for Hawaii high school students. Nalukai brings students together from different islands to ideate, create, and launch startups by the end of the 10 day period. As a student founder, I got to join a team that already had an existing business. As a mentor, I was able to join the next cohort and give suggestions on ideas and pitch presentations.
Menehune Mount Co.
Co-Founder 2014 - 2016
This is my earliest business experience that kickstarted my interest in the field of business. Menehune Mount Co was a startup that was developed during a Startup Weekend event that my team and I went on to win as the youngest winners. The Menehune Mount was a revolutionary GoPro mount that utilized rare earth magnets to attach a GoPro to any metallic surface as well as any thin non-metallic one.
