About Me: I'm a Farrington High School graduate who grew up in Kalihi Valley, the middle child in a family of Portuguese, Puerto Rican, Polish, Hawaiian, Chinese and Filipino descent. My love for travel led me straight from school into a career with Hawaiian Airlines, where despite my fear of flying I take advantage of the excellent travel benefits. On a dayto-day basis I'm happily grounded, keeping my feet planted on terra firma as a ramp agent.
