What is your hometown, what brought you
to the Pensacola area and how long have
you been here?
My hometown is Honolulu, Hawaii. I moved to
the Pensacola Bay area in my early 20’s seeking
more opportunities in life. Whether it be as
an entrepreneur or a volunteer, I have always
contributed to the greater good of the Pensacola
Bay Area.
What is your profession and give a brief
description of what you do.
I have been a full-time community volunteer
philanthropist for the last few years and it is
the most rewarding “job” I’ve ever had. My
work as a volunteer has led me to exciting
leadership opportunities with various nonprofi t
organizations that serve the community at large.
I am involved in: Impact 100, Mess Hall, Arc
Gateway, Gulf Coast Kids House, Krewe of
SWAT, PACE Center for Girls, Covenant Care,
and Studer Community Institute.
What do you like best about Pensacola?
What makes it so unique?
The spirit of the city. Pensacola is full of heart
with very giving people, which is how I try to live
my life everyday—with heart and by giving. Like
Pensacola, I have a beautiful story, a past that has
made me what I am today. We, together, have
a beautiful future, one that I am excited to help
mold and share with others.
Give us three words that best describe
you.
Passionate, Grateful, Blessed.
What are some of your favorite things
about Pensacola.
We have the largest IMPACT 100 in the world,
the whitest beaches in the world, and the one and
only Blue Angels in the world.
I AM PENSACOLA because…
Pensacola is full of Aloha Spirit, people with big
hearts.
