weekend anchor/morning reporter, Hawaii news now [kgmb/khnl/kfve]

april 2018 – present

Began at HNN as the station’s first MMJ and now as weekend anchor, I help train new MMJ’s we hire. During my time here, I became part of the community and built relationships with government officials, business leaders, and grew into the primary person trusted for off-island travel and special assignments.

provider relations coordinator, oral surgery hawaii

august 2019 – present

My skills as a professional communicator have proved invaluable in my role here. I was hired to help our practice navigate a high stakes transition between medical supply providers. It required an extreme attention to detail and a level of teamwork that I hadn’t mastered before working here. I planned special events, crafted morale building activities and represented the practice in the community.
