Kathryn received her Bachelor of Science Degree from the University of Hawaii Manoa, College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resource Development. She is quick to add her pride in being a graduate of our State's public school system, too. Kathryn feels strongly that our life paths are guided by the beliefs and values instilled to us as young children through our families and friends. Hence, her commitment to the Hawaii Nature Center's environmental education programs for our keiki. It is our family, our choice in friends and mentors who are most influential as we chart the directions we take in life, she adds.

In her leisure time, Kathryn enjoys spending time with her family and friends. She enjoys kayaking, swimming, family summer camping trips and long, leisurely walks in the valleys and mountains of our Islands. A huge fan and supporter of the University of Hawaii athletic program, you will often find her coaching from the stands at the Stan Sheriff during basketball and volleyball season, along with 9,000 other fans.
