Aloha mai kakou! ‘O Bree Maumausolo ko’u inoa, no Honolulu, Hawaii ma ka ahupua’a ‘o Ko’olaupoko mai au.
Bree is the youngest child out of three to her parents Lorianne Makalena and David Maumausolo. She has one sister and a brother who are 10 and 12 years older than her.
She is a proud mother and provider of two precious young children, daughter Jayzen (7) and son Breydan (4). Her hobbies include anything to do with DIY projects as well as arts and crafts. She enjoys dedicating her time, attention and love to the lord (first and foremost) and spending quality time with her children if not at home or church, then at the beach or park on the weekends.
In addition, she attended Hawaiian immersion school Ke Kula Kaiapuni o Anuenue in Palolo Valley from Papa Mala’o (kindergarten) through the end of Papa Eha (4th grade), from there she transferred to Aina Haina Elementary, moved on to Niu Valley Middle School, advanced to Kaiser High School for first two years and ended the rest of her schooling at Farrington High School where graduated high school and earned her diploma in May of 2011.
Her personal journey from sophomore year through part of junior year highly impacted her professional career in many ways, such as caring and fending for herself at such a very young age while living on the streets for 1 ½ years. During that time, she had very little to make it through the week on a full stomach, on most days she showered at the beach in cold water and slept in dark and cold places at night. Through it all she learned to be resourceful, self-sufficient, humble, appreciative and optimistic.
The path of her professional career has been paved for her since then… she knew that deep down in her heart she wanted to serve the community in every way she could while making a living at the same time. She’s worked for three different Community Health Centers island wide (Kokua Kalihi Valley, Waimanalo Health Center and Kalihi-Palama Health Center) and gained an enormous amount of experience and knowledge in many areas that deal with community health that can and has drastically improved the quality of life for people of Hawaii.
