I am Chikyra (sh kaI ruh) Crabbe and I love working at Kamaile Academy in Waianae, Hawaii and I have been teaching for over 10 years as I truly enjoy educating students. I was born and raised in Philadelphia, I graduated from Florida A & M University with a Bachelors of Science degree and I obtained my Masters of Education degree at the University of Pennsylvania. I believe early learning is important as I am an advocate for increasing access to early learning programs. I enjoy living in Hawaii and have been living on Oahu for 7 years with my standard poodle, Brody.
