I am originally from Santa Cruz, California, but I have lived in
Hilo, Hawai'i for the last eleven years. I earned my undergraduate
degree in journalism from Hawai'i Pacific University in 2008 and my
graduate degree in education, with an emphasis in instructional
technology, from San Francisco State University in 2014. I have
worked in higher education for 13 years. Most recently, I have
starting developing my skills in front-end development.
I live in Hilo with my husband and two young daughters. We spend our
free time at the beach, going on walks, cooking, reading, and
spending time with our family and friends.
