I wanted to take some time to make a post thank everyone who made these past 4 years so amazing. I met so many wonderful, kind, loving people these past 4 years and without you all I wouldn’t be the women I am today.
To my family, thank you guys for always pushing me to be my best. Ya’ll set the bar high and made me a better women for that. I love you all and I would take a bullet for any one of you. You have inspired me in different ways, showing me how to be a better person, friend and sister. I know you can’t chose your family, but if I could I would chose y’all every time.
To my Hilo iron / Hawaii Ohana, I don’t even know where to start. You guys welcomed me in with open arms and I have never felt so much love in one place. Y’all have pushed me to not only become a better athlete but a better person. When I say I wouldn’t have stayed here if it wasn’t for you guys I fully mean it. Y’all are the best people I have ever met. I have made connections with each one of you and I am so unbelievably pleased y’all l have trusted me to coach you. and .electa thank you two for being my best friends through this journey. You two are my sisters/family through and through I love you both.
To my friends/family back in New York, Thank y’all for sticking by my side even though I was 6000 miles away. I don’t know when or if I’ll ever move back, but I know that you guys will always be there ready to hang out, go for a hike, workout, or do any other crazy s**t when I get back. I love you guys.
Covid definitely messed with my “college experience” but the people I got to meet my freshman year will always have a special place in my heart. I plan to visit you all eventually no matter where you move to, I will always annoy y’all to come and stay.
To my professors ,thank you guys for challenging me and dealing with me through these weird online times.
I will look back on this journey with such fond memories and know that I have made friends for life. I am so thankful that I commented to moving away from home and coming to this island. It has helped me grow and become a better person. I can’t wait to see where the rest of my journey takes me!

The question that has been asked the most this past week “so what’s next?” My answer “I have no clue”.
Going to see what opportunities I can make happen next. For right now I’m just going to celebrate!!!

Cheers to 3 years ❤️ from the moment I bested you in the bottle flipping competition I knew I found someone special. I didn’t know where life would lead us, but I knew I wanted to travel through it with you. I love you ❤️

Happy Mother’s Day to my favorite travel buddy and the best mother. Thank you for everything you have ever taught me and all the wonderful places you’ve taken me. I will never be able to show you how much you mean to me, but hopefully one day I will amount to at least half of the mother you are. I love you mom, you deserve all the days💚

Beach day silly’s 🤪☀️🌴
