I'm the owner of Kona Bay Books on the Big Island. I'm also on the board for Literary Arts. I chair the DE&I workgroup and sit on the council for the Portland Book festival and the Portland Arts and Lecture series. I have a great love for zines, graphic novels, oral storytelling, and slam poetry. I'd love to create more opportunities for Big Island youth to explore theses mediums. My day-job is in fintech with a focus on financial inclusion.
