PERSONAL: Majoring in business ... Born in Honolulu, Hawai’i ... Daughter of Deborah Christian and John Inouye ... Chose to attend Pepperdine because “Pepperdine carries the values that are similar to mine living in Hawai’i: Kuleana (responsibility), malama (caring for each other), ohana (family) and laulima (working together). When I chose Pepperdine, the environment and people were the things that made it feel like home to me.” Loves swimming because of all the new experiences and people she has met while traveling to different states for competitions.
