Kaselehlie and Aloha to all. My name is Pearl Habuchmai Olter-Pelep and I’m from the outer island of Yap, Chuuk, and I was born and raised in Pohnpei. Yap, Chuuk and Pohnpei are three states within the Federated States of Micronesia. I’m currently living in Pohnpei and working at the College of Micronesia-FSM. I’m an assistant professor at the Education division and have been teaching for almost 6 years now. Teaching is everything to me since I’m raised by parents who are teachers. Both my husband and I attended the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo where he earned his master of arts degree in tropical conservation biology and environmental science. I got my bachelor of arts degree in psychology and received my master of arts degree in educational leadership at San Diego State University. Teaching is a passion for us and one thing that I’d like to share about us is that we both attended the college that we are now working at.
