Donna was born and raised in Pearl City, Hawaii. Trained as a classical piano player since she was 8 years old, she obtained a music history degree from the University of Hawaii. She and Dr. Mori moved to Portland when their first child was 3 months old so that Dr. Mori could attend dental school. Donna takes care of most of the bookkeeping duties for the office including payroll, taxes, accounts payable, etc. About 7 years ago she began to be more involved in the daily running of the dental practice and can be seen in the office 3 days a week, cleaning rooms, sterilizing instruments, answering phones, and doing whatever will help the staff and patients. She enjoys reading all types of books, trying new eating places, and traveling. She also visits Hawaii multiple times a year to help with her mom who suffered a stroke 3 years ago and is partially paralyzed.
