MEET OUR TEAM
Breast Cancer Hawaii was started in 2016 by two local survivors who had spent a lot of time during their treatment researching information on resources and support groups in Hawaii. There are so many wonderful organizations both locally and nationally that provide valuable services to breast cancer survivors, but it can be difficult to navigate through all of the different websites out there. They came up with an idea to sift through all of the sites and compile the most useful information in one location to help fellow survivors in Hawaii.

Jane has been a survivor of Stage 2B Triple Positive Invasive Breast Cancer since 2015. She was born in the Philippines, but raised in Hawaii since the age of 3. She is currently working at a public high school as a part-time teacher. In her spare time, she enjoys baking, crafting, and scrapbooking; but mostly, she loves spending time with her family. If there is one thing she learned from her journey with breast cancer, it would be to “Embrace the Change — to celebrate life and enjoy the new you.”
