Diana Pohaikealoha Waikiki Naihe

As a member of the Hana Canoe Club, Diana has paddled in beautiful but dangerous waters since she was eight years old. With training and discipline, Diana was the team’s pacesetter, realizing that her crew members depend on her leadership. She is a well-rounded athlete, from cross country to soccer to volleyball. She was a mentor for the Hana Youth Center and her school’s representative for the Maui District Scholastic Coordinate Organization. With a focus on improving the health of Native Hawaiians, Diana plans to study nursing. From Hana, Hawaii, Diana will attend the University of Hawaii, Maui College in the fall.
