Diamond

Registered Behavior Technician

Aloha. My name is Diamond and I guess you could call me a typical Island girl. I love to dance, sing, paddle, and play ukulele. I was born and raised in Ewa Beach on the Island of Oahu, and there is no other place in this world I would rather call home. I am a mother of two young boys and love every minute of this precious life we live. We live a life style of family, surf, and Hawaiian Culture everyday. I enjoy bringing this lifestyle with me into my work as an RBT where I can open my heart, home, and knowledge to the keiki that I have the privilege of working with.

Though a longtime visitor, Lori’s connection to Hawaii runs deep—she married a local from Ewa Beach many years ago. Her family remains on the East Coast, where her adult children are now raising children of their own. Among them is her autistic granddaughter, with whom she shares a beautiful bond, thanks to ABA therapy. This experience fuels her passion and daily drive to make a meaningful impact in the lives of children.
