Kiana Amby-Correia
Aloha kākou, my name is Kiana but I go by Ana. I am a proud alumna of Kamehameha Schools and a former boarder in Kapiʻolani Nui. I was born and raised on Lānaʻi and later moved to Kahaluʻu on the windward side of Oʻahu.
I have been with my husband since 2011, and together we share the joy of raising our daughter. Living a simple life surrounded by ʻohana is what keeps me grounded and brings me the greatest happiness.
I hold both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in social work. It is truly my privilege to partner with ʻohana to support your keiki, and to help them navigate their time here with aloha and kuleana. I look forward to building lasting pilina with each of you and ensuring that every keiki feels a sense of belonging and ʻohana throughout their Res Life journey.

With 19 years of teaching experience, I am deeply passionate about nurturing children and being a meaningful part of their life journey. I am committed to supporting their cultural understanding, individual growth, and overall development, helping each child flourish both academically and personally.
Born and raised on Kauai, I understand the importance of family values and how that shapes who we are as individuals, adding to the 'ohana we are building here at our dorm hale.
Kilinahe Pascua
Aloha! ʻO wau ʻo Kumu Kilinahe. I am a proud KS Kapālama alumna and former boarding student who understands the unique experience of living away from home and the importance of finding a strong sense of belonging within our hale. As a Residential Life Advisor, I strive to create a supportive environment where every haumāna feels seen, challenged, and encouraged to grow into the best version of themselves. Outside of work, I enjoy going to the beach, eating good food, and spending quality time with my ʻohana. I look forward to welcoming each haumāna into our hale and supporting them throughout their Residential Life journey.

May the legacy and spirit of Kapiʻolani Nui live on through us.
Chiefess Kapiʻolani Nui (1794–1841) was born in Hilo to the high ranking aliʻi Kekikipaʻa and Keawemaʻuhili of the Keawe line. She later married High Chief Naihe of Kona and became a respected leader known throughout Hawaiʻi for her wisdom, courage, and unwavering conviction.
Kapiʻolani is remembered for her fearless journey to Kīlauea in 1824, where she challenged long held fears and demonstrated that true leadership requires courage, faith, and standing firm in one's values. Throughout her life, she led with humility, resilience, and deep care for her people. Even in the face of illness later in life, she met hardship with remarkable dignity and strength.
At Kapiʻolani Nui Hale, we honor her legacy by encouraging our haumāna to lead with courage, integrity, and aloha. We strive to create a community where students stand confidently in their values, support one another with compassion, and grow into leaders who serve others with humility and purpose.
