Kristina Chow is a first-year student majoring in Liberal Arts. Having recently graduated from Kalani High School, the 18-year-old decided that attending KCC would be an easier transition from high school into college rather than starting at a university. In the future, Chow said that she does plan on attending UH Mānoa to pursue a bachelor’s degree in Secondary Language Studies. Upon completing her degree, Chow is hoping that she will get accepted into the Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET) program, an opportunity that would allow her to teach in Japan.

Outside of school, Chow works a construction job that involves having to check fire pumps and high rises, which she expressed is a job that not many people her age or gender will typically do.

“I get to … track all of the different data that comes out of the fire pump that goes up into the sprinklers so that it can control the fire,” Chow said. “It’s a really good experience though.”

"I'm also trying to learn how to play the ‘ukulele right now, so I'm spending a bit of time on that," says Ali. "Other than that, I'm just going to school."
