About Me

Hi I'm Faith! Here is a little more info to get to know me 

Life

I was born and raised here in Hawai'i, moving all over the island growing up. My dad was also in the military, so we moved to Virginia for four years before returning to the islands. I now live in Mililani with my family as I complete my undergraduate studies at UH Manoa. 

Travels

I have always loved traveling. I grew up traveling to California, Big Island, and eventually taking long road trips while living in Virginia.

 

After graduation, I went abroad for the first time, studying at Calvary Chapel Bible College in Okinawa, Japan for a semester. I also got to visit South Korea for a few days then. That semester only grew my love for travel and immersing in other cultures. Since then, I've returned to Japan twice, visiting Okinawa, Kyoto, Osaka, Tokyo, Kobe, and other regions. This Fall semester, I am excited to live in and explore South Korea, and hopefully other countries as well!

I also love traveling for concerts! I've traveled to Texas and LA so far, and am returning to Dallas this summer to see BTS' Arirang Tour. I'm also planning to visit Japan this Fall for VAUNDY's tour. 

Hobbies and Interests 

- I love going to the beach and freediving, sunbathing, and shelling

- Music and Concerts: some of my favorite artists include twenty one pilots, BTS, RADWIMPS, Mitski, and Stray Kids. I listen to all kinds of music though! I've seen a total of 15 shows and 25 artists. I also love producing and writing music. 

- Art: I love drawing and painting, mostly nature 

- Hiking: My favorite hike I've done was the Na Pali Coastline on Kauai

- Language Learning: I am learning Japanese and am starting my journey with Korean. 

- Food: I am a huge foodie. I love Asian cuisine the most, but if I had to pick a specific dish it would be Cheesy Korean Tteokbokki 

Education

Class of 2027

University of Hawaii at Manoa

B.S. Travel Industry Management - Tourism Studies

I chose travel industry management as my major because I believe it is a flexible and highly applicable degree to both Hawaii and international markets. I have a passion for cultural tourism experiences, and look forward to working in the industry to create more sustainable, authentic, and understood experiences here in Hawaii and globally.
