Teuira Shanti Napa, a remarkable individual, was born on the picturesque island of Rarotonga, located in the Cook Islands, a group of islands in the South Pacific Ocean. Currently, she is a junior student at Brigham Young University Hawaii, where she is pursuing a dual major in Pacific Island Studies and Political Science.
Prior to her academic endeavors, Teuira made a splash in the world of beauty pageants, having held the esteemed titles of Miss Cook Islands 2012 and Miss South Pacific 2013. Her impressive credentials also include television appearances with Fresh TV, a prominent production company based in New Zealand.
Teuira's linguistic abilities are equally impressive, with a proficiency in both English and Cook Islands Maori, the indigenous language spoken in the Cook Islands. Interestingly, her fluency in Cook Islands Maori made it relatively easy for her to transition to speaking Hawaiian, as the two languages share similarities.
Born and raised on Rarotonga, Teuira grew up in a close-knit family with three sisters and two brothers, surrounded by the vibrant culture and natural beauty of the Cook Islands.
