Born and raised on the beautiful island of Maui, I was surrounded by aloha, family, and the ocean breeze. In 2009, I made the bold move to Washington to pursue a career in cosmetology, chasing a dream I held close. But life had other plans. Due to some unforseen circumstances, I was forced to step away from my passion. That dark chapter, however, brought me the brightest light—my first-born princess in 2011. She became my reason to live, my healing, and my strength.

In 2017, love found me again. I met the man who showed me that happiness after pain was possible. He encouraged me to rise, to grow, and to see the light at the end of what felt like a never-ending tunnel. Together, we welcomed our first son in 2019, and then another in 2021—my sweet boy who reminds me of my dad in every way. That same year, I lost my dad, my rock, my biggest supporter. His absence created a hole in my heart, but also a drive to keep going.

Just when I thought my family was complete, life surprised me once again with my last princess in 2022. Raising four beautiful children while navigating life through a pandemic, heartbreak, and healing, I found a creative outlet in 2020. I started a small business making custom t-shirts, stickers, blankets, glassware, and home items. Though I lost motivation along the way, in 2025, I’m giving it new life—revamping it with more passion, purpose, and pride than ever before.

My story is one of resilience, love, loss, and finding beauty in broken places. And I’m just getting started.
