About Keni Kalama
Passionate and results-driven Career Services Manager at BYU-Hawaii with a deep appreciation for languages, cultures, traditions, and people. Fluent in Tagalog and driven by a love for connecting individuals from diverse backgrounds. With international work experience spanning Hawaii, the US, Oceania, and the Asian rim, I have developed an extensive global network across government, business, education, and public and private organizations. Rooted in my Hawaiian and Māori heritage, representing Ngāti Kahungunu, Tainui, Ngāti Porou, and Te Arawa iwi, I bring a rich cultural perspective to my work. Having graduated from BYU-Hawaii with a degree in Political Science in 2007 and earned an MBA from American Public University in 2011, I possess a solid academic foundation. As a highly skilled professional, I excel in connecting professionals and students in global markets, fostering valuable partnerships, and expanding career opportunities. Certified in GCDF, MBTI, and Strong assessments, I am well-versed in career development theories and possess the expertise to guide individuals towards meaningful career paths. As a founding member of the Asia-Pacific Career Conference, I take pride in its success in creating over an estimated jobs, internships, and facilitating numerous student placements in graduate programs. Through innovative strategies and industry-specific events, I have nurtured a network of opportunities for students and alumni. With a commitment to empowering individuals, I leverage my international network to foster cross-cultural learning experiences and promote diversity and inclusion in the career development process. I thrive on building strong relationships and collaborating with stakeholders to enhance educational and vocational outcomes for students. If you are seeking a dedicated and culturally sensitive individual who can connect others to global opportunities, I’d be excited to explore how we can work together and contribute to your organization\'s success. Let\'s connect and collaborate to empower people around the world to find success.
