“Being from Hawaii, I am in many ways a home-body… Hawaii will always be near and dear to my heart and I will always have a home there, but I also honestly never thought that I could feel as comfortable somewhere else. Stanford made me feel right at home, right from the get-go. There were obviously challenges, whether it be the difficult classes, long practice hours, or the colder-than-I’m-used-to weather, I still felt very much at home.”
“As a member of the Stanford Women’s Water Polo team when I was an undergrad, I spent a huge part of my Stanford career at the Avery Aquatic Center. 20+ hours a week for 4 years were spent on the deck and in the water of that complex, and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. I made lifelong friendships there and got to proudly represent my school there. And, though I am biased, it’s probably one of the more beautiful facilities on campus, and one of the best aquatic complexes in the country—not a bad place to spend a lot of my time.”
