My Students

My student body reflects the unique diversity of the Hawaiian islands. My students are creative, driven, free-thinkers who appreciate the connections they experience in school as much as they appreciate academic learning. My students have formed a tight community, as many of them have been in school together since kindergarten. They love to work, play, and create.

My students are forced to be resourceful, which only nurtures their innovation.

They are true trailblazers, and I am proud to know them!

My Project

This Mindful Communication course through Mindful School is needed now more than ever. After more than one year of collective global trauma, I see an urgent need for self-awareness and mindfulness in our schools so that people can heal and move forward from the pandemic with wisdom and care.

The offerings of this mindfulness course are a perfect opportunity for educators to develop more self-awareness and communicate effectively so that they can be the resilient and compassionate role models our students need right now.

If I am able to complete this PD, families, students, and colleagues alike will benefit.
