I have always been drawn to the natural world. Since I was very young, I've kept a garden and all kinds of pets! In particular, I love fish and birds! I currently have several parrots - Felix (blue and gold macaw), Rocko (dusky headed conure), Klaus and Vincent (jenday conures), and Apollo and Meteora (sun conures).
Mrs. Panui and I (back) take our Environmental Science class on a field trip to Makauwahi Cave Preserve in Maha'ulepu to observe the impacts of introduced species on native Hawaiian ecology as well as preservation efforts.
