Aloha! I’m Cindy Scheopner, a new blogger at Hawaii-aloha.com. I’m also fairly new to Hawaii, just finishing my first year in the islands. I moved to Oahu for graduate studies at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. This is my third degree path and career. My undergraduate studies were in journalism at the University of Kansas (Rock Chalk Jayhawk!). I worked in television, radio and newspapers before law school at Baylor University (Go Bears!). I practiced briefly as an attorney specializing in criminal defense and family law; eventually combining law and journalism in writing/producing a series of legal reports for K*USA-TV in Denver, Colorado, where I also worked on the assignment desk and did weekend web posts. Now I am studying the philosophy of law and philosophy of religion at UH (W00t Warriors!). I have no idea what job that will lead to but it is enormously satisfying intellectually.
I think my various career paths have three things in common: variety (I am easily bored), information (I love to know what’s going on), and writing (I love to share what I’ve learned). I plan to share what I am learning about Hawai‘i with you in this space. Let me know if you have questions or areas you’d like to see covered. Believe me, you can’t come up with a more basic question than I had in my visits and then move. If I don’t know, we’ll figure it out together.
