Personal Bio

Hello, I'm a professional golfer from Honolulu, Hawaii. My dream to become a professional golfer began at the age of 13 when I became the youngest participant in the 2011 U.S. Women's Open. This early exposure to the LPGA golf fueled my passion and determination to excel at the highest level. I attended UCLA, where I was a three-time All-American, balancing academics and a strenuous collegiate golf schedule. During my amateur career, I had the honor of representing the United States in prestigious team events, including the Curtis Cup in 2016 and 2018, and winning individual gold at the 2017 World University Games. I turned professional in 2020 and competed on the Epson Tour, achieving six top-10 finishes in 2024. In December 2024, I earned my LPGA Tour card for the 2025 season by finishing T-13 at the LPGA Final Qualifying Tournament. Off the course, I enjoy mentoring the next generation of golfers in Oahu, Hawaii and Orlando, Florida. I cherish spending time with my family and embracing the rich culture of my Hawaiian roots. My journey has been a blend of dedication, resilience, and gratitude, and I'm excited to continue pursuing my dreams on the LPGA Tour.
