Academic Achievements/Experience:
I published a literature review in the University of Hawaii at Manoa Horizon’s Undergraduate Journal. In this piece I explore how technology has shaped the next generation’s interpersonal and intrapersonal characteristics with an emphasis on compassion. Through this process, I was able to learn the importance of writing with the consideration of being bipartisan while also considering the ethical issues that may be present in the piece. It also taught me the importance of writing for the general public compared to only a certain population, so that people outside of my field or directly on the project can gain insight on the information being presented.
