Andreea Dragoi is on a glorious work vacation in Hawai’i, and truly living her best life. The San José State University swimmer has been looking absolutely sun-kissed in her Instagram posts as she leans into her modeling talents.

The 20-year-old stunned in a floral classic triangle bikini top and black-and-white cheeky string bottoms. She posed for photographer Walter Ryan Calinawan with her knees half in the water and half in the sand and flaunted her super sculpted figure and toned abs and arms. The Romanian-born college athlete tagged swimwear brand Ama Bikinis and travel ageny Hawai’i Travelers.

“@amabikinis perfect match for Hawaii 🌸 #hawaii #travel #hawaiibeach #oahu #travelinfluencer #swimwear #beachday #model #photoshoot,” Dragoi captioned the short clips set to the sound of a cover of Doja Cat’s “Agora Hills.”

“POP OFFF 🔥🔥,” Mya Azzopardi commented.

“Perfect match indeed 😍,” the Hawai’i-based photographer added.

“❤️❤️❤️ thank you so much 🙌,” the bikini brand chimed.

“Wow o wow o wow,” one fan gushed.

“Omg, are u real?” someone else asked.

Dragoi, who was named the winner of the the 2022 Miss California U.S. Nation Pageant, also shared another beautiful series of pics on the shores of Lanikai Beach. She sprawled out in the sand on her stomach and showed off her bronzed glow in a solid black string bikini from Origin of Oceans.

“Aloha state of mind 🏝️🩵,” she wrote.

Dragoi has been open about her personal struggles to profit from the NCAA’s NIL policy as a result of being an international student. She has been able to secure an on-campus lifeguarding job to generate some income, but she believes she deserves much more.

“I’m doing it all on my own. It made me learn a lot from the process and how to manage everything,” she shared. “Everyone thinks I have a [management] team behind me at this point, and I’m like, ‘Nope.’ It’s hustle after hustle after hustle that would be made a lot easier if we could monetize our NIL. Life here is so expensive.”
