hello! kumusta!

I'm a licensed psychologist in Hawaiʻi (PSY-2151) and a Nationally Certified School Psychologist. I graduated from the school psychology doctoral program at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. I'm currently serving as Crisis Liaison & Community Trainer for the Hawaiʻi Department of Health Child & Adolescent Mental Health Division.

I identify as a small-fat, biracial (Filipina+white), able-bodied, cisgender woman. 
My roots are in rural Arkansas, but heart is scattered across Fayetteville, AR; Richmond, VA; Springfield, MO; Urbania, Italia; Madison, WI; & (especially) the Big Island of Hawai'i.

For fun, I love to cook without recipes, enjoy board games with my fabulous partner, tolerate our very cute cat (Catexander Hameowlton), ocean paddle, snorkel, and consume a preposterous amount of audio media.
