Toni grew up in the Southwest, including Southern California, Las Vegas, and Northern Arizona. A former gymnast, cheerleader, and lifeguard, her sports injuries shifted her focus from engineering to healthcare. She earned an Associate of Nursing and an Associate of Arts from Yavapai College in 2013, then a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Grand Canyon University while working as an RN. After six years in the Emergency Department and ICU, she pursued a Master of Science in Nursing from Walden University, graduating in the top 10% of her class. Toni has worked in Concierge Medicine, Aesthetics, Urology, and Occupational Health. Since relocating to Hawaii in 2020, she enjoys rock climbing, free diving, and beach outings with her family.
