Like the ʻiwa bird that soars at great heights, reading shifting winds and anticipating patterns before they become visible to others, we approach data with a comprehensive, informed, and forward-thinking perspective. This elevated vantage point enables us to help organizations navigate complexities, extract meaningful insights, and advance with clarity and confidence.

Deeply rooted in Hawaiian values and an unwavering commitment to community, our practice creates a seamless bridge between traditional knowledge systems and cutting-edge data methodologies. We partner with impact-driven organizations—enhancing their ability to measure outcomes, optimize limited resources, and build enduring success through data-driven strategies that honor both innovation and cultural wisdom.

Meet the Team

Bridging data science, strategic thinking, and ʻike Hawaiʻi (Hawaiian knowledge), I established Kahamanu Insights LLC to transform complex information into clear, actionable intelligence. My approach combines analytical rigor with cultural wisdom, empowering non-profits and businesses to make confident decisions that create lasting impact and meaningful change in their communities.


  • Founder & Data Strategist

    I am a Data Strategist and Analyst specializing in operational analytics, AI-driven insights, and process optimization. With expertise spanning financial analysis, inventory tracking, and strategic decision-making, I transform raw data into actionable intelligence that helps organizations improve efficiency, sustainability, and impact.

    My journey began in neuroscience, where I developed a deep appreciation for pattern recognition and complex problem-solving. This foundation naturally evolved into a passion for data analytics and AI applications, where I now leverage cutting-edge technology to streamline workflows, uncover hidden trends, and drive informed decision-making.

    My first significant venture into applied data analytics came through developing a comprehensive system for a local poi mill to analyze kalo contributions from various farmers. This pivotal project enabled precise assessment of kalo quality metrics, streamlined processing workflows, and provided critical insights that informed both business strategy and operational decisions. This experience crystallized my understanding of how data could serve as a bridge between traditional practices and modern business optimization.

    At Kahamanu Insights LLC, I blend Hawaiian values with modern analytics to create a unique, holistic approach to data. This cultural-technical fusion has proven effective across diverse sectors—from supporting non-profits and agricultural operations to optimizing business processes in production efficiency, financial forecasting, and compliance reporting.

    A signature focus of my work is analyzing kalo production and poi distribution data, where I've helped partners improve inventory management, demand forecasting, and community accessibility. These data-driven insights directly contribute to strengthening food sustainability, enhancing production efficiency, and ensuring this cultural staple reaches those who depend on it most.

    I believe data tells a story that, when properly interpreted, can transform organizations and communities alike. Let's discover yours.
