Education Mission Statement:

To strive as a lifelong learner, emerging leader, and mentor by encouraging and exposing students and fellow educators to innovative ideas and solution-based thinking that promote and locally connect student achievement and preparation for global competitiveness and educational excellence.

I strive to learn through fellowship opportunities. As a Pulitzer Center Fellow, I love to collaborate and brainstorm units of instruction with educators and journalists to create lessons plans that highlight perspective and underreported issues. The Hawai'i State Teacher Fellowship empowered me to finally publish and collaborate with statewide Hawaiian educators and policymakers about education policies and practices. My lifelong dream of a Fulbright scholarship came to fruition from a sudden fear driven Covid-19 propulsion application. In all honesty, this site would not be possible without the Fulbright capstone requirement; another incredible byproduct of this most awe inspiring fellowship.
