About me

This year marks my 18th year teaching at Kamehameha Schools. I currently teach Biology at Pākī. In addition to teaching, I am the club advisor for the Students Give Back Club, which is a community service club that services practices in sustainability, land/ocean management, and giving back to the community. The club is open to grades 9-12 and require students to participate in various community service once a month. I am also involved in athletics as I am assistant coach to Girls Cross Country team. I was also the original Surf Team head coach and retired from the position as I help lead the team to win 7 high school state titles and back-to-back Team National Titles in 2014-2015 in California. I also coach the Kamehameha Track and Field for hurdles and helped coach the team to win its first State Team Title in 2008. I've also taken a few of my science students to USC's marine science program in Catalina Island, where they have won the Quikscience project sponsored by USC and Quiksilver.
