High School: Our Lady of Guam
College: University of Central Florida
Ilei was born overseas in Japan and grew up in Guam, USA where she attended Academy of Our Lady of Guam. Ilei took an early interest in Chamorro hula and Filipino cultural dancing, which later progressed into hip hop choreography and breaking. Although she did not officially play on a high school team, you could find her at the nearest beach playing volleyball, playing drums and guitar for any high school event, or learning power moves and footwork for the next battle or choreography. She later attended college in Orlando, FL where she decided to take on leadership roles in the Filipino Student Association and Elements of Hip Hop at the University of Central Florida. Traveling the US and dancing in different communities ultimately opened her eyes to sports and kinesiology.
Ilei is now a mother aiming to finish her Bachelors in Kinesiology in Seattle, WA and is looking forward to learning and growing with Lake Washington Physical Therapy. Her goal is to stay in this field to give back to her community of White Center and West Seattle, become a PTA, and remain open to becoming a DPT, while staying a cool, active, loving mom.
