Description: Annabelle is a writer based in Hawaiʻi. She is a third culture kid and global citizen who has traveled to over 20 countries in pursuit of storytelling.
I am a Hawaiʻi-based freelance writer as seen in Nonprofit Quarterly , TripSavvy , Rewire News Group , and Honolulu Civil Beat .
My multicultural background and studies in global citizenship backbone my work to bridge the gap for marginalized people, especially AANHPI, to equally obtain access to resources, rights and voice. I've traveled to over 20 countries for grassroots, international exchanges in places like India and Indonesia to support efforts toward humanitarian and environmental justice.
Currently I am the communications specialist for Hawaiʻi nonprofit, Partners in Development Foundation . I am also the communications lead for the Opportunity Youth Action Hawaiʻi', whose project, " Kawailoa: A Transformative Indigenous Method to Replace Youth Incarceration ," was awarded $20 Million as a Racial Equity 2030 Awardee.
