I am Kumu Pohā.  I was born and raised in Hāna, Maui.  I am one of the 4th grade teachers at Nāwahī.  I team teach with Kumu Kaolohia Masaoka.  I am also a parent here at Nāwahī.  I live in Puna with my keikis.  I am blessed to be able to teach and interact with Hawaiian speaking keiki. The Hawaiian language lives!
