Welina mai me ke aloha...

I am a librarian and archivist with professional experience supporting Hawaiian and Pacific research through reference services, library instruction, archival description, and ethical digital access. My work is grounded in Hawaiian knowledge systems, Indigenous librarianship, and research library standards.

My professional practice centers on facilitating access to Hawaiian and Pacific materials for students, faculty, researchers, and community members. I work across archives, libraries, and instructional settings to support research, stewardship, and responsible use of Indigenous knowledge.
