About MC: Angie Tomo Hoku
Tomo (AKA Hoku) has been a bilingual emcee for many years in both Hawaii and Seattle, doing various events involving Hawaiian music, hula, sports, information technology and/or food & hospitality industries. Tomo works freelance as an interpreter and translator as well as a tour coordinator, in greater Seattle area as well as all around the world. And as if those gigs aren't keeping her busy enough, she also fulfills her creative interests by being a recording artist for Hindi-Japanese songs, and also by posing as a model at sessions and ateliers such as Gage Academy of Art. She would like to connect with her audience, with her motto from Mother Teresa’s quote: “Peace begins with a smile.”
