A Lifelong Calling to the Islands

Though born in Arizona, Brittny’s connection to Hawaiʻi began

with the captivating stories told by her father, a former Aloha Airlines 

pilot. Those early memories of the islands stayed with her, eventually

leading her to the North Shore of Kaua’i in her mid-twenties. While

documenting the sustainable farming community in Moloaʻa, she fell in 

love with the island’s rhythm and the profound importance of food

security and land stewardship. In 2021, Brittny officially made the 

Garden Island her cherished home. This journey from “Pilot’s daughter” 

To “Kaua’i Resident” fuels her deep commitment to Malama I Ke Kai

And sharing the magic of the sea with the next generation.
