Born & Raised on Kauaʻi Active & Educated

Approachable, Trustworthy & Hardworking

Why am I running?

My life long community work and commitment to social justice and the environment is what motivates me to run for the Kauaʻi County Council. 

I was born and raised in Kapahi and have family and many childhood friends who, like me, are struggling to make ends meet and care for their families. I am committed to doing everything I can to fight for our local families when making decisions to build a better future for our Kauaʻi community while honoring our island’s unique history and culture.

Since moving home after college over 10 years ago, I have participated in issues before the State legislature and County Council which has given me insight and an understanding of the many complex problems our Kauaʻi community is concerned about. I want to bring to the council my passion and expertise for increasing local agriculture and food production, protecting our natural resources and further diversifying our economy while developing a more responsibly managed visitor sector. And, I feel it is critical and urgent to address head-on the affordable housing crisis and drug abuse and addiction.

I know I can be a strong advocate and voice for our families and feel my life experience, education, and my abilities to be analytical, work collaboratively and be clear in the things I can support and what I believe should not be supported will benefit the work and the dynamics within the Kauaʻi County Council to make thoughtful and fair decisions.

May I please have one of your seven votes for the Kauaʻi County Council.
