    Regina Greene is an 18-year-old Radiology major from Honolulu. She originally wanted to become an ultrasound technician, but that major is not available in Oahu. Greene wanted to get into the medical field because "it's a compassionate job and I care for people." Currently, she doesn't work because her previous workplace was not a good fit for her, so financial aid is paying for her tuition. She hopes to get another job sometime soon for extra pocket money. Greene lives with her older sister who is able to pay for their rent. In her free time, Greene enjoys baking and cleaning.
