Sharleen is highly ambitious and deeply empathetic, helping her loved ones with unwavering support. She stands by them through every challenge, and her persistence shines through difficult times as she pursues her academic goals, driven by a desire to give back to her family.

Sharleen has been the treasurer for the Class of 2025 Student Council since her freshman year, demonstrating a strong commitment to raising funds for school events. She has collaborated closely with the fundraising committee to support events such as Froshmore and Junior Prom, where her classmates can come together. Sharleen's passion for creativity is evident in her positions as the HOSA historian and the National Honor Society historian. Notably, she has accumulated over 100 community service hours. Her dedication extends to science as well. Concerned by the impact of invasive algae in Kaneohe Bay, Sharleen and her friend engineered a bioplastic using Gorilla Ogo algae and banana peels. This project earned them the Women Geoscientists Award at the district science fair where they represented their school with pride. Sharleen hopes to continue discovering new knowledge through her future endeavors.

Sharleen draws inspiration from her mother, who was a physician in the Philippines before their family moved to Hawaii where was unable to continue her practice. Sharleen's interest in medicine was influenced by her mother's battle with thyroid cancer. This experience has fueled her ambition to pursue a career as an obstetrician-gynecologist, where she hopes to support and empower women throughout their health journeys.
