Claire KODAMA

Hi! My name is Claire (she/her) and I’m a Business and Management student from the United States (Minnesota and Hawaii). Outside of meeting new people, I love to play golf and tennis, play violin, and go to concerts whenever I can! I also love to travel to new places, and hope to do so a lot during my time at HKUST! My dream travel destinations are Tokyo, Rome, Sydney, and Bangkok. 
    
My goals for being a Spark Global Leader are to create a community for students from all over to flourish in, and to be an active participant in the international student community. Being away from family is always tricky, so I hope that through Spark Global I’ll be able to help people make friends that feel like family, and HKUST a home away from home!
