What is one college moment/achievement you are the most proud of?

Becoming the student leader/role model that I needed my freshman year.

What is your favorite SUB meal/hack?

Upgrade the coconut chicken curry from the soup station by adding chicken from pasta station then get rice from wok station and get some sriracha and shoyu (soy sauce) on the side. Add the shoyu and sriracha to taste per your preference.

What is something that Puget Sound has taught you that you did not expect to learn?

Aside from academic excellence, having meaningful relationships and building strong connections is imperative to lay the foundation for a successful future. 

In only one sentence, please describe what you value the most about your Puget Sound experience. 

You need to understand growth means getting out of your comfort zone, asking questions and never expecting things to be handed to you. Being a Logger means never being complacent because there’s always room for improvement.

Aldrin's Interests at Puget Sound

Ka ’Ohana me ke Aloha is the Hawai’i Club at the University of Puget Sound. Its name translates simply into “The Family with Love” and was created with the intent to provide a Hawaiian-style family support group for students while sharing the island culture with the rest of the Puget Sound community.

At Puget Sound, community starts on campus. Guided by our residential curriculum, the first-year residential experience is a big part of welcoming new students to the Logger community.
