Advertiser Staff

Lt. Cmdr. Michelle Hoerster was named the second commanding officer of Coast Guard Maritime Safety and Security Team Honolulu yesterday, taking over the unit over from Cmdr. Tom MacDonald at a Change of Command ceremony.

Hoerster comes to MSST Honolulu from a tour at the Coast Guard Academy in New London, Conn., where she served as a company officer in charge of the daily wellbeing and professional development of more than 1,000 Coast Guard Academy cadets.

MacDonald's next tour of duty is at the Coast Guard Headquarters in Washington, D.C., where he will serve as the coordinator for external engagements.
