She has a Bachelor of Nursing Degree from the University of Hawaii and practiced as a Registered Nurse at St. Francis Hospital, where she introduced the first hospice care in Hawaii in a hospital. Other accomplishments include serving as CEO of Malama Ka Ohana a Pau Loa; developing programs to promote and preserve the Hawaiian healing traditions and lifestyle through providing opportunities for education, research and apprenticeship; and initiating pilot programs to integrate Hawaiian Healing with Western Medicine.
