I returned to Hawaii to work in the State Legislature as a Legislative Aide and Office Manager before attending Gonzaga University School of Law. While obtaining my Juris Doctorate I pursued a Masters in Business Administration. During my legal education I served as a judicial extern under Chief Justice Burns at the Hawaii Intermediate Court of Appeals and Judge Richard Roberts of the Washington State Office of Administrative Hearings.
