Hoku relocated from O’ahu to Portland in 2018 in pursuit of her education. She graduated with a BS in Biology and a BS in Science in 2023. Hoku has wanted to pursue Veterinary medicine since she was a young child and loves animals with a passion. When she's not working, she’s enjoying the outdoors with her partner and dog, Goldie, and flying back and forth to see her family.  And she has three adventurous cats back in Hawaii-Ramsey, Mochi, and Dorian.
