Inspired by the life ways of coastal nation peoples, I am a Hawaiʻi-based storyteller sharing heart-driven stories that center reciprocity in community. You can find my work in Ka Wai Ola News, Hana Hou!, Nonprofit Quarterly, and more. 

​​

My multicultural background and studies in global citizenship backbone my storytelling work to help bridge the gap for marginalized voices to equally obtain access to resources and rights. I've had the privilege to travel as a guest in over 20 countries like Chile, India and Indonesia in pursuit of grassroots, cultural exchanges to nurture community well-being through education, stewardship and honoring traditional lifeways.

 

Currently I am the Associate Director of Marketing for Partnering with Indigenous and Traditional Communities for The Nature Conservancy. In my previous role with the Partners in Development Foundation, I led the communications efforts for the Opportunity Youth Action Hawaiʻi', whose project, "Kawailoa: A Transformative Indigenous Method to Replace Youth Incarceration," was recognized as a global finalist for the Racial Equity 2030 Awardee.
