Aloha, my name is Kanoe, otherwise known as @kanoepelfrey on Instagram.

I am a Polynesian American businesswoman who loves to snowboard and surf! 

I am a competitive snowboarder, surfer and model. 

I have aspirations of qualifying for the Winter Olympics Milano Cortina 2026 in snowboarding.  I am going after my dream completely no holding back! I would like to be the best snowboarder that I can be and become the first female Polynesian snowboarder and one of the few Polynesians to ever go to the Winter Olympics! 

Volunteering is very important to me and I try my best to support organizations who are very dedicated to their causes!

I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration with a double concentration in Global Food, Agribusiness and Leadership, Organization & Management.  I have a Business Law certificate from Cornell University.  Recently, I received an Executive Education AI in Fintech and Open Banking Programme certificate, Block Chain Strategy Programme certificate and Cyber Security Programme certificate from the University of Oxford Said Business School.  On the weekends and evenings, I went to Caltech's Blockchain bootcamp for blockchain development.  I became a solidity developer to understand design to increase my value in tech management and entrepreneurship.  

I am fortunate to have had a job in marketing along with creating campaigns for awesome brands!  This background in marketing and consulting has helped me be creative in tech.  Nowadays, I am more in the tech scene but still like to collaborate on weekends or evenings and be active on certain projects in marketing that come my way.  Currently, I am enjoying my career as vice president at a construction company that is looking to improve their operations with technology where this has allowed me to continue my passions! 

I am very excited to be studying finance as well and go after my CFA Level 1 Exam! 

FNi (FiRE N iCE) Surf. Skate. Snow. is my brand.

I have a deep passion for traveling and like to share my adventures through Instagram!

My golden retriever's name is Kona and he is obsessed with snow and the beach.  

I like to do yoga, play classical piano music, swim, tennis and golf.  My favorite type of music to listen to is edm, UK rap, Hawaiian Reggae, J Boog, Sublime, Blink 182, Good Charlotte, Central Cee, Sean Paul and Ozuna! 

I travel for work frequently and have a focus on health, wellness, beauty and lifestyle.
