I am the K-5 school counselor at Kāhala Elementary School. This will be my 5th year as a school counselor in the Hawaiʻi Public School system and I am grateful to be part of the Eagles ʻohana. I look forward to working with you and your child!
Prior to becoming a school counselor, I was an educational coach for the Kūlia Support Project, a program that supports Native Hawaiian students that attend the University of Hawaiʻi system Community Colleges (UHCC). I also served as a high school College & Career readiness Kumu (teacher) for the Kamehameha Scholars program.
I am a proud graduate of Kaimukī High School (Go Bulldogs!). I went on to receive my Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts from Kapiʻolani Community College and my Bachelor of Science in Human Development & Family Studies from UH Mānoa. In July 2022, I received my Master of Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in K-12 School Counseling from Chaminade University of Honolulu. I completed my school counseling internship hours at Mayor John H. Wilson Elementary School and Kaimukī High School.
