A native Hawaiian born and raised in Kaimukī, O'ahu currently resides on the island of Hawai'i. As a young girl, she fished, surfed and played in the ocean and knew she wanted a career in marine stewardship.
She graduated with a BA in Hawaiian Studies & Minored in Marine Science in 2006, then later went on to get a MS in Tropical Conservation Biology and Environmental Science in 2011 from UH-Hilo.
Currently, she is the Coastal Community Capacity Development Advisor for Conservation International Hawaiʻi, where she works to support community-based marine management initiatives to incorporate an integrated approach to monitoring and management. Her efforts help to ensure a path of ʻāīna momona for Hawaii's future generations.
