About Sandra

Sandee Oshiro started out in newspapers and moved to the digital side of news. She hasn't looked back.

She began as a general assignment reporter at West Hawaii Today, KHVH Radio and The Honolulu Advertiser. As a reporter, she covered natural disasters, county councils, governors, elections, labor disputes and local businesses. At the Advertiser, she served as assistant city editor, business section editor, digital news director and managing editor/digital. She managed the launch of the Advertiser's website and directed the development of its iPhone app.

She has served as an adjunct lecturer at the University of Hawaii journalism program and Chaminade University's communications program.

Hi Sandra.

Re: Good quiet coffee houses, I'd recommend either Tanners Coffee on Culver Blvd. in Playa Del Rey or the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf in the Playa Vista complex. Cow's End on Washington Blvd. on the Venice border is also good - but parking can sometimes be an issue there.
