Who are you?

Aloha mai kākou! I am a proud Kanaka ʻŌiwi, deeply rooted in the wisdom of my kūpuna and the enduring strength of my ʻohana. My life’s work is guided by kuleana—the sacred responsibility to honor my ancestors, protect our moʻomeheu Hawaiʻi, and uplift the voices of my lāhui.  

For me, ʻohana is everything. They are my foundation, my inspiration, and the reason I strive to build a future where our stories, traditions, and ʻike (knowledge) thrive. But our connections stretch far beyond our shores. As children of Moananuiākea, we are woven together by the same ocean, the same struggles, and the same dreams. This is why I am committed to elevating the Pasifika community—because when one of us rises, we all rise.  

Whether through cultural preservation, community advocacy, or fostering unity across our Pacific nations, I believe in the power of aloha ʻāina, pilina (connection), and collective healing. Together, we can honor our past, transform our present, and navigate a path of abundance for generations to come.
