Ms. Gray began her college career at Boston University as part of the University Professors Program. She was raised in Honolulu and graduated from Punahou School.
Ms. Gray launched her legal career in California in 2001 where she worked as a Deputy District Attorney (DDA) in Orange County, California for 9 years.

Ms. Gray believes in treating clients with respect and understanding. She takes the time to make sure clients understand the legal process and current state of the law so they understand potential and past court rulings and can make educated decisions throughout the process in their own case. She believes that there is no one approach to a case and each approach and case analysis is driven by the unique set of facts for each case, each client's goals and desired outcomes and the current state of the law.
Ms. Gray is admitted to practice law in the state and federal courts of both California (inactive) and Hawaii. Ms. Gray joined the California State Bar Association in 2001 and she became a member of the Hawaii State Bar Association in 2012.
