Messy K. Dengani-Mampaka

Born and raised in South Africa with a Congolese background, I have always valued the diverse and multicultural environment in which I grew up. As a student at Brigham Young University-Hawaii, majoring in Accounting, I have had the opportunity to develop my skills and abilities in both academic and work settings. As an enthusiastic tour guide has honed my passion for creating memorable experiences, and have gained extensive knowledge of Polynesian culture, using skilled storytelling to engage guests with historical and cultural narratives.

Additionally, my role as a former Office Administrator and partial bookkeeper has provided me with experience in maintaining efficient office operations and coordinating with Sales and Accounts departments. I am eager to continue developing my skills, particularly in the field of Accounting, and I look forward to sharing my knowledge while gaining new insights.

• My greatest passion is helping the needy and bringing a smile to someone’s face. I volunteered at the St Giles Assignation for the handicapped and enjoyed interacting with the residents there.
• Throughout my school career I participated in many cultural and sport activities namely, athletics, netball and drama. I was a class RLC and my natural ability to lead was rewarded with a position on the School Leader Body in my final year.

For service above and beyond the call of duty, for setting a high example for all employees in the Guest Services Department, I was awarded Employee of the Month of January 2024.
