About Me

Professional & School life

I’m a licensed Cosmetologist and Massage Therapist. I've owned and operated my private practice, JKC Wellness, since 2017. My next goal is to attend acupuncture school on O‘ahu. I enrolled at Kapi‘olani CC to earn college credits for acupuncture school, the Interface Design program immediately piqued my interest and what started as a requirement quickly became a new passion.

intuition, creation, & interaction

As a massage therapist, I help people reconnect with their bodies and well-being. As a Graphic Designer and Web Designer/Developer, I bring ideas to life through intuitive, beautiful digital experiences. Both allow me to create, connect, make a positive impact, and allow both sides of my brain to interact and thrive.

Personal world

I'm a mom to two amazing humans (18 & 12). When I'm not being mom, a business owner, and a life-time student, you'll probably find me breaking a sweat at Fit for a Goddess, boxing, or vegging out so I'm able to reset my mind, body, and soul.
