Aloha is a word that I have adopted into my vocabulary.
BACKGROUND
Raised in Boise, Idaho, I’ve been a happy Hawaii resident for eight years. Following graduation from Boise State University, after earning a Bachelor of Science in Sports Medicine, I moved to Oahu to pursue my Master’s Degree at the University of Hawai’i at Manoa. Then accepting a position as a graduate assistant for the UH football team at the Honolulu campus I lived on Oahu for three years. It was during this time that I first learned the meaning of “aloha and ‘ohana” and my introduction to Hawaii.
I then made my way to Maui and everyday I wake up thinking how grateful I am to live in paradise! Out in nature I’m better able to gain perspective on his life, with little distraction. “It’s a great place to get to know yourself, it’s my island home, I can’t think of another place I would rather be”.
