Currently living outside of Hilo on the Big Island of Hawaii, I am involved in the community and enjoy respectfully exploring this island. Participating in learning Hawaiian Life ways with Hālau ʻŌhiʻa by Kekuhi has broadened and deepened my relationship and cultural understanding of this illegally occupied sovereign nation. Volunteering my time at the loko iʻa, with grief/bereavement support and with supporting others during their times of need continues to feed and nourish my service-oriented mind. I enjoy studying anatomy, playing with astrology, working out at Crossfit Hilo Iron, hosting friends for coffee or a meal, and caring for my home/household. And hanging with my animal friends! I hope to get to know you soon and share life's journey in all its many forms/paths.
