Exemplifying a well-rounded student from Kaua‘i High School, Lauryn Hashimoto holds many accolades for her scientific research projects and has held leadership roles as a class officer throughout all four years of high school, – including serving as class president for the last three. She was a dedicated scholar-athlete, serving as captain of her paddling team and also participating in cross country and track and field.

Lauryn was accepted by her dream school, the University of California at Berkeley, where she will study molecular biology and work towards a career in scientific research.

I value hard work, perseverance, and using mistakes as learning opportunities,” said Lauryn. “Science is a field where I can apply these aptitudes to address issues I care about, such as climate change and environmental protection.”
