I have 2 kids at Waikiki School, one in Kinder and one in 3rd grade. I teach AP Psychology and Health and Wellness at Punahou School. In my free time, I enjoy making jewelry and swimming in the ocean. My goal for this year is to help to support students and families of Waikiki School through the PTO.

Happy to be part of the wonderful Waikiki School ohana. I have 2 kids, one graduating in 2028 and the other in 2031. Aside from the excellent teachers and staff, I love the school's mindful philosophy and farm program. I enjoy working collaboratively with you all to reach our goals. My hobbies are art, exercise, psychology, and nature, and I work in roadway design at the City and County of Honolulu.
