Representing Hawaiʻi on the national stage as a Rainbow Wahine was one of the greatest honors of my life, and I carry that pride with me in all I do. After graduating from Columbia University in the City of New York, I moved to Oʻahu in 2021 to attend graduate school at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. I earned two master’s degrees in two years and served as captain of the Rainbow Wahine basketball team, helping lead the program to back-to-back conference tournament championships and NCAA tournament appearances. What began as a move for school and basketball has grown into a life rooted in connection, storytelling and a deep love for the Islands.

As Advertising Director at Aloha State Daily, I’m excited to build advertising partnerships that help organizations expand their reach by connecting them with an audience invested in the Islands and for readers to discover businesses, services and solutions that add value to their lives. I’m also proud to be part of a locally operated news source that shares stories that matter here in Hawaiʻi, while allowing readers to come to their own conclusions. 

Before joining Aloha State Daily, I held leadership roles at Wai Kai in leisure sales, marketing and community relations. I’ve also worked in sports media in Hawaiʻi as a broadcaster and analyst, contributing to television and radio coverage. 

I’m grateful to continue giving back to the community that has shown me aloha through it all, and I’m thrilled to do that here at Aloha State Daily by helping organizations grow and playing a part in keeping people informed and inspired.
