Born and raised in Kona, Hawaiʻi I live my life with Aloha, determination, and a positive attitude.

I received my Bachelor of Arts in Communication Studies from Chapman University in 2019, and graduated with a Master of Arts in Journalism from the University of Nevada, Reno in the fall of 2020. I have a passion for communication and storytelling through digital media, writing and online engagement. 

My work experience includes being a Digital Media Manager for Hawaii Business Magazine and a Digital Content Producer at Arizona's Family 3TV/CBS5 in Phoenix, Arizona. I also am a freelance writer for City Lifestyle Publications and write articles on people, businesses and organizations in Kona, Hawaii and Tempe and Ahwatukee, Arizona. 

My background, skills and passions are in newswriting including breaking news, feature stories, content creation (videos, reels and digital graphics), social media management, multimedia production (documentary filmmaking, audio production) and video editing.

I have been dancing hula for over 20 years and enjoy sharing the Hawaiian culture with those around me.
