Marisa Heung
Special Projects Editor
Adventurous is not a word HONOLULU writer Marisa Heung would use to describe herself—except when it comes to food. Willing to try anything once—maybe even twice—she credits her eclectic palate to a childhood spent in Hong Kong and a father who was known to order the strangest items on the menu. On a typical day, you’ll find the special projects editor at her desk, writing marketing content for HONOLULU and its clients while snacking on a bag of beef jerky.
