Hey everyone! My name is Darrah, I’m a first-year university of Waikato student, studying a bachelor of sports and human performance, majoring in sports science, minoring in psychology!

Visiting Hawaii has always been a dream of mine! (genuinely, in preschool, my best friend and I decided we would travel around Hawaii in a pink barbie caravan, after forming an obsession with my recently gifted backpack decorated in images of Hawaii’s breath-taking landscapes and sea creatures!). Although the Barbie caravan aspect may not be entirely achievable, I am beyond excited and grateful to have the opportunity to study abroad at the University of Hawaii at Mānoa!
