Wendy has been a loan specialist at Bank of Hawaii's Reverse Mortgage Loan Center since its inception in 2007. For 16 years prior to joining the bank, she taught mathematics at high schools including Mililani High and Hawaii Baptist Academy. During her last two years of teaching, both of her parents suffered strokes that ended their ability to live independently. As she assumed her new responsibilities in helping care for her parents, she discovered the benefit of having a strong support system and access to resources. Through managing her parents' affairs, Wendy also realized the importance of exploring options when making decisions that impact quality of life and financial issues. Now, in her role as a loan officer at the bank, she serves our customers as a resource for reverse mortgages and helps them explore the features, benefits, costs, and implications of these loans. Her desire is to educate her customers so that they can make good, sound decisions towards achieving their financial goals. A graduate of Aiea High School, Wendy attended University of Hawaii at Manoa where she obtained a Bachelors of Education degree. She is a member of Olivet Baptist Church where she serves on the Finance Committee. Wendy and her husband are blessed parents of two fun-loving children who know how to live life to its fullest.
