Our team continues to grow! Here are our newest amazing additions:


Lauren Flores - Client Marketing Specialist

A little about Lauren:

  • Favorite Movie: Disney Pixar’s Up
  • Favorite Free Time Activity: Trips to Disneyland or the beach with my family.
  • Favorite Kukui Value: Love
  • Best Childhood Memory: My favorite memories growing up were our Saturday morning breakfasts. My mom was a single mother of 4 girls and she worked constantly to support us, but without fail, every Saturday morning we would wake up to her cooking breakfast and spent the morning together as a family.
  • Favorite Quote: “You will not always be the smartest person in the room, and you will not always be the strongest or funniest or the most talented. But you can always be brave and you can always be kind, and these are the things you should be every minute of every day for the rest of your life. Because yes, those other things, they’re great things. But these things are better.”


Michelle Hjorth - Controller

A little about Michelle:

  • Favorite Movie: The Lion King (1994)
  • Favorite thing to do in your free time: Travel and spend time with my husband and kids.
  • Favorite Kukui LEAD value: Discipline
  • Best Childhood memory: Spending summers with all of my cousins at my grandma’s house in Manila.
  • Favorite quote or phrase: “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit.” - Aristotle
