Hi! My name is Makena and I am a freshman. I joined the ‘Iolani community two years ago, in seventh grade, and this is my second year at Imua. I joined the class because my mom is a news reporter and I wanted to understand what it is like doing her job. I wanted to experience firsthand what it feels like being a journalist and how important it is. I compete in wrestling and judo. Hobbies of mine are surfing and sleeping.
