I consistently exceed revenue goals by identifying opportunities, building trusted partnerships, and creating customized strategies that drive measurable results. I thrive in competitive markets and take pride in turning connections into long term collaborations.Born and raised on O‘ahu, Hawai‘i, hospitality is part of my foundation. The spirit of island hospitality, warmth, authenticity, and service, guides how I lead, sell, and serve in every space I step into.Beyond the hotel industry, I am the founder of ALOHA2GO, a catering and food truck brand that shares the flavors and culture of Hawai‘i. What started as a passion project has grown into a platform for community and support, bringing people together through food while uplifting local organizations, small businesses, and cultural initiatives. Through this venture, I continue to deepen my connection to the communities I serve.I am an active member of Women in Sports and Events, the Philippines American Chamber of Commerce, and the ProfessionalWomen’sAlliance. Community development is embedded in both my professional strategy and personal mission.
