With 24 years in banking, I developed a strong foundation in relationship-building and service—skills that now guide my work with Soroptimist International of Honolulu. I’m passionate about community connection and creating programs that uplift women and girls. I’m also a full-time Realtor in Hawai‘i and a notary since 2009. Outside of service, I love performing as a vocalist with my band, Playlist, sharing music, energy, and aloha.
