Mahalo donors! Words cannot express the gratitude that I feel. I am currently working two jobs while also pursuing higher education, so this means so much to me. I hope to continue my work as a Registered Behavior Technician working with kids with developmental disabilities, continue to gain clinical hours for my degree, and I also plan to keep singing at events to spread aloha! With your help, I will graduate with my Master’s in Education in the Spring of 2023! As a Native Hawaiian, I know I am in the minority that gets the privilege to earn a master’s degree, and it has only been possible with your help.
