She attended the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa and Chaminade; her first job was as a Conservation Corps member working for Resource Management at Haleakalā National Park in 1984. After her initial stint with the park, she also worked as a field supervisor for Mauna Kahālāwai, formerly known as the West Maui Watershed Partnership. While living on Hawaiʻi Island, she taught surf lessons, worked in construction, and practiced realty as a real estate broker agent.
