About me

She is a founding member of Nā Hawaiʻi ʻImi Loa, the professional organization whose mission is to advance Hawaiian knowledge systems, services, and research within LIS. Annemarie has dedicated her life to perpetuating ʻike kuʻuna (ancestral knowledge), including ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi, professionally as a librarian and personally within her own ʻohana, as a means of further elevating the collective Hawaiʻi consciousness of our lāhui aloha. She lives with her husband, ʻĀina, and two children, Kapālua and ʻEmalia, in Kumuʻulu, Waiau, O’ahu.
