Professional Experience
I was born and raised in Hawaii. From an early age, I’ve had a passion for helping others and life experiences have taught me to value relationships based on trust, integrity, respect, compassion, and sincerity with one another.
I graduated from Punahou School, and thereafter pursued my undergraduate studies in Washington state before moving on to Northern California to attend law school. My family, as well as my local ties to Hawaii led me to return to practice law and eventually establish my own practice.
Personal Obligations
In addition to my legal practice, I strive for a work-life balance that is meaningful and helpful to being my best self so that I can be available for others.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family: my husband, and four grown children. Having grown children has allowed me to begin to enjoy traveling and when time permits, read, write, take enrichment classes, and spend quality time with friends and family. I also serve part time on a pastor team at my home church, overseeing community care and life for our church ohana.
