Emily Medeiros

Emily is currently a PhD student in the Department of Urban and Regional Planning at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. She is the newest teammate in the PAʻĀ Lab and is also happy to be making her planning debut this summer at Townscape! She received her BA and MA in Hawaiian Studies, and enjoys historical land and water research as a well as working outdoors. Being born and raised in Pālolo in the ahupuaʻa of Waikīkī—the historical epitome of abundant, spouting freshwater—it is fitting and natural for Emily to engage in water research, spaces, and work.
