My journey in astronomy all started from curiosity. I had a book on constellations and would look up and try to find the constellations in the sky. With a small pair of binoculars, I’d see deep space objects that I couldn’t tell exactly what they were but I just had to find out. Since then it’s still a passion learning about the wonders of the universe and observing mind-blowing objects like the planets, star clusters, nebulae and even clusters of galaxies!

As for my background, I’m born and raised in Honolulu with an Electrical Engineering degree from the University of Hawaii and I have over 20 years of experience in public astronomy. I’m part of the Hawaiian Astronomical Society which is a non-profit astronomy club that provides stargazing with telescopes to the Oahu public. I am also a volunteer NASA Ambassador since 2021. We help promote NASA discoveries and missions to the general public. Keep a close watch on the James Webb Space Telescope that recently launched. It’s going to open our eyes to the very early universe and directly see planets orbiting around other stars!
