About

Over 30 years as a provider, educator, manager, and administrator within mental health, crisis intervention, judicial, academic, and non-profit systems. The majority of my work has been with underserved Asian and Pacific Islander (API) communities in various settings and service delivery systems in Hawaii and Massachusetts. I am passionate about social justice issues and advocating for the voices of vulnerable and marginalized communities.
