Three years ago, I made one of the best decisions of my life. Attending the @universityofhawaii has given me the opportunity to study Biology in preparation for dental school and meet the most incredible people. It has allowed me a schedule that opened the door for early graduation, and I'm fortunate to use that extra year of time to dedicate to being #misshawaii. As I prepare for #missamerica, I reflect on my wonderful memories and lessons learned from #uhmanoa. I could not be more proud to be a Rainbow Warrior. #gobows 🌺🌈👩🏽‍🔬 #misshawaii2017 #hawaii #stem #rainbowwarriors (at University of Hawaii at Manoa)
