Her passion and intellect will leave an audience with the motivation and inspiration to act quickly and decisively.”

Jessica Munoz is both an outstanding executive a visionary and inspirational leader. It has been a true honor to work with her for the last five years. I have been involved in Pearl Haven from the beginning. I experienced, first hand, the transformation of a burned out building to a beautiful 24,000 square foot facility that provides a safe place for young, sexually exploited girls to heal.
She possesses excellent leadership and financial skills. I served on HO’OLA NA PUA’s Capital Campaign, chaired by Jessica. The Committee had a lofty goal; to raise over $9 million dollars to renovate the building. The Committee met every week for a year. Led by Jessica we were able to raise the money, complete the renovation of the building on time and under budget – a remarkable achievement, especially during the Pandemic.
She is an outstanding fundraiser and storyteller who has the ability to empower people to dream big and do the impossible I have seen her move diverse audiences to action, leaving them inspired and ready to impact their world.”
Jessica has a rare ability to turn vision into operational reality. She builds systems, aligns stakeholders, and delivers results in environments where many would not know where to begin. As a fellow nurse, Jessica has inspired me with her calmness and leadership style.”

I first met Jessica in 2019, when Hoola Na Pua was growing, and Pearl Haven was an unthinkable goal for many. Since that time, I have seen firsthand Jessica’s unparalleled grit. She has faced challenge after challenge with unwavering determination. Her ability to motivate others is truly exceptional, she has been the guiding force of inspiration that allowed all of us to think bigger. When faced with adversity, she has served as a catalyst, igniting resilience and perseverance within her organization. It has been a privilege to witness such a transformative force inspiring others towards success and innovation.”
Jessica is an amazing and very talented lady. She accomplished what most of us thought was not possible. With her non-profit, Ho’ola Nā Pua, she: obtained a long-term lease on14 acres of government land; raised over $12 million; and, obtained the regulatory approvals for the first of its kind, a thirty-bed facility in the State of Hawai’i. Girls who have been trafficked now have a safe place to go and heal. Jessica is a natural leader both in building community and team trust and in driving excellent, if not extraordinary, results.”

She also is skilled at using her knowledge to bring together partners and supporters to help those most impacted: the survivors. With her help, Ho’ola Nā Pua provides essential therapy, care giving, and support to help survivors start a new life. Jessica is a true leader in this effort and inspires and motivates many to live with purpose and passion.”
