Pālama Lee Leaps tall buildings in two single bounces... ...by day an average researcher and evaluator and by night a Netflix watching, game playing, semi-nerd superhero. A staunch defender of the conjunction "and", he tears up on-demand witnessing random acts of kindness. He digs divergent thinkers, abstract art, and his guilty pleasure is Italian dry salami.Pālama joined LT in 2011 and has a MSW and a PhD in Social Welfare. He serves on several initiatives to protect and promote Native Hawaiian community health for kāne (Kū Ola), the elderly (Hā Kūpuna), individuals experiencing behavioral health recovery (Culture and Addictions Advisory Council), and keiki in foster care (Family First Hawaiʻi, CWS).
