Being born & raised on the island of Maui has taught me to live and think simply & resourcefully in all aspects of life. Meanwhile, 15+ years in the restaurant & hospitality service industry has taught me a work ethic of multi-tasking & incredible patience while smiling and effectively communicating under constant pressure.
