ʻŌlelo has earned an important place in my life, both personally and professionally. Ensuring the future of this institution is an important endeavor that requires keen foresight and a proven talent for leadership. As a former professor, I have a well-developed skill set for project management and development. I have spent years growing and developing the minds of those who cross my path. It is precisely this experience of continually moving forward with visuon that is deeply beneficial to ʻŌleloʻs leadership team. Therefore, bringing the community to ʻŌlelo is important as bring ʻŌlelo to the community. It is my desire to bring ʻŌlelo into the creative narrative that thrives in Hawaiʻi. As a board member, I feel that I can bring the experience and passion necessary to harness the power of ʻŌlelo Community Media for future generations. Mahalo.
