Anna joined JCI Honolulu in 2020 and greatly values the international opportunities and connections that the Jaycees provide. Born in Hawaiʻi and raised between Maui and Japan, she serves as a bridge between cultures with a keen sense of cultural understanding and knowledge.

“I am honored to serve as the 2026 president of JCI Honolulu. I look forward to the meaningful and impactful accomplishments we will create together this year. My theme for the year is “Carpe Diem”—seize the day—a reminder to embrace each moment with purpose, passion, and presence.”
