I can help! Well, I'll help you as best as I can based on my own experiences. I created this website as a resource for other students who are planning on studying abroad. This site will be most beneficial to a student attending the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa, who is looking to study abroad through MIX (Mānoa International Exchange) or any student who is interested in studying abroad at Keio University.

Thank you! To Mr. Graeme Freeman and the Freeman Foundation for your continuous support of the students at Shilder College of Business who are choosing to study abroad in Asia. I am so grateful for your support in my education overseas. I have been given the once in a lifetime opportunity to study at one of the top schools in Tokyo, Japan. This scholarship is enabling me to take every opportunity while abroad; to network and make connections with business professionals and other international students from around the world, to travel and immerse myself in Japan's unique culture, to further my education in international business, marketing, and management, and to be a positive representative of Native Hawaiians and Hawaiian culture and values at the international level!
