Anna Shikuma is working this year as the social media content creator for The Collegian. This is Shikuma’s first year working at The Collegian but her second year working with Rocky Mountain Student Media Corporation as a social media content creator.

Shikuma is currently in her fourth year of school pursuing her degree in social work. After completing her bachelor’s, Shikuma hopes to attend graduate school to obtain her master’s in social work. Shikuma is committed to finding new ways she can help people and spread awareness on social issues. Her career goals include helping survivors of trauma and life-altering events by becoming a licensed social worker to work clinically in hospitals with patients.

Shikuma was born and raised on the island of Oahu and enjoys being by the ocean and water sports like jet skiing. She also enjoys being outside and doing activities that move her body, such as hiking or going to the gym. Aside from activities outdoors, she also enjoys reading books and learning all about new topics.

This summer, she interned at a law firm as a summer hire and enjoyed attending seminars held by the attorneys at the firm, where they talked about their practice and gave advice to all the summer interns both careerwise and in life. Shikuma is excited to start her first year with The Collegian and looks forward to doing social media again.
