Serena Murray
Serena Murray, a Mililani native and current resident, is working toward her RN license in the LPN-ADN Transition Program here at KCC. She has worked as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) for the past six years, and hopes that by transitioning to an RN role she will give herself more options in the healthcare profession and ideally earn a higher salary. Serena keeps busy with her family; her daughter is in the drumline at Mililani High School and she has two younger boys. Serena’s husband is in the military and they previously spent time in Oklahoma.
Having since returned to O’ahu, Serena is excited to continue her education path at KCC. When not busy with classes or her current work as an LPN, you’ll likely find Serena at the beach or hiking trails across the island.

Aaron PilaAaron Pila is a third-year student attending KCC majoring in Natural Resources. The 22-year-old already graduated from KCC with an Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts in Fall 2017 but is continuing to further his education in preparation for his transfer to UH Mānoa in Fall 2018. Pila's decision to attend KCC was influenced by the encouraging comments he heard about KCC's biology program, specifically giving credit to professors Mackenzie Manning and Brian Deis. Since his time spent on campus, Pila has found the support system and academics to be helpful and motivating. In the future, Pila yearns to work in a national park after earning his degree. "I haven't really decided which one yet, but ... I just like the idea of walking around showing people really why they exist and how great just being outside is," Pila said.
