I am a student at UCLA, with an agenda to empower the knowledge that exists in Bay Area, Hawaii, API, U.S. and Caribbean grassroots communities. I study Information Studies, with a focus on community based digital archiving. I have done organizing work with women's movements in Hawaii, Bay Area and the Philippines. My work has focused on advocating for transnational feminist activist thought and action on demilitarization through initiating projects and partnerships that support the International Women's Network Against Militarism, a network of grassroots women activists from S. Korea, Japan, Okinawa, Philippines, Guam, Hawaii, U.S. and Puerto Rico/Vieques. I am also a 1st degree Reiki initiate, and have practiced yoga for 10 years. I am currently a student of Ananda Marga yoga, a tantric based yoga philosophy and practice.
