I was raised in Kailua, Hawai'i, and currently reside in Honolulu, Hawai'i.  As a young keiki (child), I loved reading whatever captured my attention.  My visits to the bookmobile and library were times that I looked foward to.  Once my head was buried within the story, it was difficult to pull me out.  I did not want to put that book down until I was done! 

Writing, though did not interest me when I was younger.  I loved to be just the reader, which is why I then started down another path to become a nurse, which I still am today.
