The average day at the University of Hawaii at Hilo Conference Center is filled with a variety of activities. In order to maintain our work pace, I snack every 10 minutes on organic munchies which include raw almonds, tofu dip, kombucha tea, and left-overs.

Seriously, although we may be super-hyper, our connection to the ‘aina (land), our relationships with our Kupuna (grand-parents & respected elders), and our devotion to the Hawaiian culture are the dominating principles upon which our travel education programs are based.

The Big Island of Hawaii is an incredibly diverse learning laboratory which attracts personalities who are looking for the real deal – the authentic travel experience, and a dynamic and innovative learning environment. “Blue Planet Hawaii” is a term which is used to refer to this unique, isolated environment which is the prime location for scientific exploration in renewable energy and sustainability.

Facilitating this introduction and interaction of our program participants to the culture and authenticity of Hawaii is a privilege for us, and a service which we consistently strive to improve by revisiting our roots, while adapting to the unpredictable nature of the world economy.

As the focus of our social awareness turns towards sustainable practices, we have an opportunity to share our programs with an evolving tourism industry. As a Conference Events & IT Facilitator, I am an advocate of information technology and believe that streamlining processes for effective communication and data management are key components to successful program implementation. As we leverage the internet to increase our efficiency and effectiveness, we are able to spend more time connecting with nature, doing the things that we love, and even participating in our own alternative tourism adventures!

After hours, you may find me meditating on a rock on the coastline in Keaukaha, watching whales while the sun sets, facilitating classes with Green Collar Technologies, snuggling with cats in a tree house, or attending a Vinyasa Yoga class. My favorite foods include Japanese, Hawaiian, Thai, Indian, and Mexican.

As a former drummer & vocalist, I have played in Jazz, R&B, Pop, Rock, and Punk bands in various countries. Tone, frequency, and resonance are the universal languages which express our diversity and our collective soul at once.
