One of the most precious things in life is family. God has blessed my husband and me with four children, three boys and one girl. Amongst the many things we enjoy doing as a family, like going to the beach, watching movies, and singing songs, we ocassionally like going to a fancy restaurant. This is a picture taken at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel at a benefit dinner for Kaumakapili Church.

I love horses. As a youngster, I spent a lot of time with my father at Kualoa Ranch, on the Ko'olauloa side of O'ahu, where we kept our two horses. It's been years since I rode and I'd love to get back on the saddle. This is a picture taken ten years ago with my nephew in Punalu'u, O'ahu.

I am very passionate about my music. Whether or not it’s playing 'ukulele, guitar, piano, bass, singing, or chanting, music is something that touches my soul. I continue to grow in my music and have found a new love in writing Hawaiian songs. This is a music video of a song that I wrote for my son Kaiuluakea. I used this video as a sample to help my students in producing their own music video compositions.

Webpage design is another passion of mine. I initially began creating webpages through a class project for my fourth year Hawaiian language students. At the end of each year, the students were required to produce newsletters which showcased their work. With the advancement of technology, I thought that an electronic portfolio would be more exciting. Here are some webpages that I shared with my students to aid them in their own webpage development.
