Michael Sheehey

Michael Sheehey serves as KCC’s retention coordinator. New to this position since the start of the Fall 2018 semester, Sheehey moved from Pāhoa to Honolulu to jump at this career opportunity. As a retention coordinator, Sheehey works with KCC faculty to oversee campus-wide initiatives to target student success.

Sheehey said that working within the community college gives him this feeling of a “small town vibe.”

    Yonik Gomez is in his first semester at KCC for his general education classes and he intends on graduating with a degree in radiology technology. "I always wanted to get into the medical field," says Yonik, but since his wife already lives the stressful life of a nurse, he'd rather "get a job that'll be relaxing." Yonik is from New York but was stationed in Kaneohe in 2012 during his time in the military. He's glad that he finished his five-year contract in the military and is now hoping to get his degree. In his spare time he likes to cook, work, and draw "anything that's in front of [him]."
