Sarah is a PhD student in the Natural Resources and Environmental Management Department, in the Dacks Lab and Piko Lab. She feels lucky to have the opportunity to work in Kāne‘ohe Bay with generational lawai‘a, researchers, and resource managers to look more into what their various perspectives are of a “healthy” reef are, and the reciprocal relationships and values between people and reefs. Her retirement auntie status goals are to be a high school environmental science teacher but before then, she hopes to work on collaborative community-based resource management projects. Generally, Sarah is interested in environmental governance, collaborative caretaking, ‘āina-based education, and marine resilience.
