Mr. Gene,
M.A.P. Director
I am local to Sacramento. I began my education at St. Philomene's School. I continued on to Jesuit High School. I moved on to the University of San Francisco where I studied Psychology and French. I am of Pacific Islander descent, Samoan to be exact. And like most pacific Islanders, I come from a big family who I dig spending time with.
I started with Westlake Charter's BASE Program in 2009. I helped in growing the BASE Program with Star Academy and stayed with them until 2016 where I began working with NP³. I am currently in my 3rd year as Director of the Matey After-school Program. It’s been fun to grow with the program and work with the staff and students in the NP³ community. The best part of my day is getting to see all the students after school and creating a place where they can hang out and have fun with their friends.
When not in M.A.P. I enjoy volleyball, coaching and playing. I’ve coached at different High Schools in the Sacramento area and currently coach competitive volleyball for a Sacramento Club (SPVC) at the 16's and 14’s comp level. If not in volleyball, you can find me painting or hanging out with family and friends.
