Karen has had the immense joy of working for many years as part of the Student Housing Services team, whom she considers to be part of her ʻohana. She has worked in different capacities within housing, but currently serves as the Assistant Director for Conduct and Community Standards, and also functions as a Deputy Title IX Coordinator. Karen was born and raised on Oahu, and earned both Bachelor and Masterʻs degrees from UHM. She has two children who also received their degrees from UHM. It has been a very fulfilling experience for Karen to serve as a Senator on the Mānoa Staff Senate, and she is honored to continue to do so. The Senate has made great strides in a short period of time and Karen asks that you make your voice heard by letting the Senate know about your perspectives and hopes for the future of our campus.
