Team: Board of Directors

I am an astronomer who came to the islands in 1996 to join the UH faculty. Having represented UH Manoa on the UHPA Board of Directors for three years, I moved to Hilo in 2022. Although I occasionally commute and run errands by bike whenever possible, I mainly fancy myself a long-distance runner. Either way, I am a proponent of the Complete Streets concept and am looking forward to supporting and advancing PATH’s mission in East Hawai’i!

Cindy is a retired school principal and a dedicated local volunteer.  She always loved the people who volunteered in her schools and is now happy to have the time to volunteer herself.

Tami MacAller is newly retired Public Health Professional and Community College instructor.  She has been active with PATH as a member, volunteer and working collaboratively with PATH projects during her employment with the Hawaii Public Health Institute (HIPHI). 

Tami has spent much of her career promoting health and wellness to prevent chronic disease, while personally focusing on her own health, by staying active as an ocean swimmer, triathlete, cyclist, and hiker.  “I believe in active living throughout our lifespan, just keep moving!”

As an avid believer in giving back to our community, she volunteers at local athletic events, Ironman, promoting healthy eating and active living, coastal clean ups, and assisting community members to connect with the resources they need to support healthful living.
