I was born and raised in Mililani, Hawaii. After primarily focusing on sports through high school, I began my studies in the Brazilian martial art of Capoeira, then later began my training in dance and received my BFA in Dance Performance at the University of Hawaii.

​

After moving to San Francisco, I joined the Margaret Jenkins Dance Company among other Bay Area dance companies. Part time, I also currently work as a NASM certified personal trainer and strength and conditioning coach at MMA gym Fight and Fitness.
