I love to bake and cook, read books, listen to music and swim on my free time. I was born in Hawaii and have four older brothers and sisters. My ethnicity is Hawaiian, Portuguese, Dutch, English and Filipino. I hate cutting weight but love ice cream after a hard workout session. My dream is to be a USA Taekwondo Olympian and win the gold medal for my country and the state of Hawaii.
