From Japan, she moved to Florida for an internship at Walt Disney World, which turned into an 11-year career. Mandy graduated from Valencia College in Hospitality & Event Management, and later left Walt Disney World as a Resort Manager to return to her roots to start her family in her hometown of Hilo.
