Pacific Islander women, like myself, often go underrepresented or unrecognized for the amazing work that we take part of within our island communities, and I hope to elevate those voices.
Three words to describe me:
compassionate, supportive, resourceful
The best part of my job:
being able to serve and make a positive impact on the community where I was born and raised, and elevating the voices of my fellow Pacific Islanders
Something that would surprise others about me:
I never graduated high school.
