I grew up on Kauai. I come from a big family- 5 brothers and 2 sisters-they are the best gift my parents ever gave to me. I attended SCU and began a career at Oracle Corp. It did not suit me and at the age of 28 I embarked on a new adventure – Dentistry at Creighton University. Crushed to have to leave San Francisco I managed to somehow get through the winters and survive Omaha. In the end I still find myself having to return to the great Midwestern town for it was there as luck had it that I met my husker husband!
