I guess you could call me a lot of things, but Taieya (tahy-a-yuh) is what most people know me as. Born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii, I always wanted to be a teacher. I attended Chaminade University majoring in Elementary Education with a minor in Hawaiian and Pacific Studies. After graduating, I obtained a position as a computer teacher and wasn't sure where this path would lead. Little did I know at the time, that I would continue working with technology, education, and integrating both worlds for 18 years.
On a personal note, I'm happily married to my best friend, inspiration, motivator, and biggest Apple fan I know, Charles (Ka‘a) Kihe. We have a son, Gyasi, two cats, Sketch and Static, and a dog, Stylo. My favorite video game of all time is Tetris and I really enjoy sleeping whenever the opportunity arises (trust me, ask my husband). I value family more than anything else and believe that "Everything Happens for a Reason".
