For nearly a decade, I connected with Hawai‘i audiences as a trusted voice in local broadcasting. As morning anchor for Good Morning Hawaii on KITV4, I delivered news with clarity and compassion, covering everything from breaking headlines to community-driven features like Moving Forward, which spotlighted small businesses navigating the pandemic.
My background also includes nearly 20 years on Honolulu’s Star 101.9-FM, where I hosted Maleko’s Room, one of the top afternoon-drive shows in the market. From natural disasters to live election coverage, I’ve been behind the mic during some of the state’s most pivotal moments.
In 2020, I co-produced Living Room Live – #AlohaTogether, a statewide telethon that raised over $100,000 worth of critical medical supplies for frontline workers during the COVID crisis. For me, broadcasting has always been about showing up for the community when it matters most.
