Annie comes to us from the private consulting world where she worked for nearly five years as an Environmental Scientist, focusing on projects in the Pacific.  As Project Coordinator, Annie will focus on engaging private landowners in conservation efforts in the urban environment as well as conducing project effectiveness monitoring for rain gardens and other green infrastructure projects.  Annie volunteers with other community organizations in her free time and enjoys the natural beauty of Hawaii through surfing, outrigger paddling, swimming and hiking the islands. 

With the addition of Annie to the HOK staff, we are excited to expand the services offered to our community to improve water quality in our streams and ocean environment.  If you’d like to talk with Annie about ways in which you can improve your storm water footprint at your house, please contact her at annie@huihawaii.org
