Lahaina was born to an immigrant family; thus, her passion for immigration law is deeply personal. Her experiences have created and fostered an innate passion to work on behalf of the immigrant community.

She is eager to help the city’s residents in a rapidly changing and daunting legal environment. She will navigate the complexity of these laws and access their full benefits, while simultaneously being a compassionate and accessible attorney. In law school, she participated in the immigrant justice practicum and served as a volunteer with several nonprofit agencies.

She graduated from Loyola Law School, in Los Angeles, in 2012. Immediately after law school, she worked for an immigration impact litigation nonprofit and then as an immigration solo practitioner.
