Jarquio is 2015 FMPR Scholar

Fujita & Miura Public Relations (FMPR) announced that Hazel-Lyn Jarquio of Kapa`a High School has been awarded as the 2015 FMPR scholar.

An active leader in academics, athletics and community service, Jarquio has achieved a 4.0 GPA and has been a member of Kapa`a High School’s student council since her freshman year, holding various officer positions from class secretary to senior class president. Jarquio has participated in four sports during high school and has served a total of 200 hours of community service through Kapa`a High School’s Key Club and St. Catherine’s Parish. This fall, she will be attending the University of Hawai`i at Manoa where she will pursue a degree in nursing, specializing in pediatrics.

“With the help of the Fujita & Miura Public Relations scholarship, I can take another step towards my dream of helping children in Hawai`i live a healthier life,” said Jarquio. “My future career goals include giving children successful checkups and educating them during the process. I believe that giving children the knowledge about a healthy diet and proper exercising while they are young will benefit them as they grow older.”

“We are very proud and humbled to have the opportunity to present this award to such a hard-working and dedicated scholar,” says Jenny Fujita, partner with FMPR. “We believe that Hazel will continue to positively impact the community in Hawai`i as she pursues her future academic and charitable ambitions.”

“The involvement and dedication Hazel has toward academics, community service and leadership are what stood out to us,” says Joy Miura Koerte, also a partner with FMPR. “She also had a very clear vision of how she wanted to use her higher education to better the community in Hawai`i, and we felt very strongly in supporting her dream.”
