Early Life

She was also good at her studies and got excellent grades during her high school years. On the side, she pursued Dive Master certification and qualified for a captain’s license in 2007. She also travel around the world thanks to the passes she gained from her mother who worked as a flight attendant for 30 years before retirement.

Professional Career

After achieving her captain’s license in 2007, Malia moved to Hawaii and started working as a Diving instructor. She also pursued her Bachelor’s education and enrolled at the University of Colorado Boulder in 2008 where she completed a degree in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. Over the years, Malia worked in Hawaii and across the mainland USA. She landed her big break in 2017 when she was invited to work on the reality TV series, Below Deck: Mediterranean. Malia was overjoyed by the prospect and joined the series as a deckhand.

Below Deck Mediterranean

Season 2: Malia joined the show as a deckhand in season 2, which aired in 2017. She was new to the yachting industry and had never worked on a super yacht before. She quickly learned the ropes and impressed her bosun, Wes Walton, with her skills and enthusiasm. She also caught the attention of two other crew members, chef Adam Glick and fellow deckhand Bobby Giancola, who both developed romantic feelings for her. Malia found herself in a love triangle with Adam and Wes, and eventually chose to date Wes after he promoted her to lead deckhand. However, their relationship did not last long after the season ended.

Season 5

Malia returned to the show as the bosun in season 5, which aired in 2020. She made history as the first female bosun on the Below Deck franchise. She had gained more experience and qualifications in the yachting industry since season 2, and had obtained her 200-ton Captain’s License. She was confident and assertive in leading her deck team, which consisted of Pete Hunziker, Alex Radcliffe and Robert Westergaard. She also rekindled her romance with chef Tom Checketts, who joined the show as a replacement for Kiko Lorran. However, Malia faced some challenges and controversies during the season. She clashed with chief stewardess Hannah Ferrier over cabin arrangements and reported her for having prescription drugs on board without informing Captain Sandy Yawn. This led to Hannah’s dismissal from the show and Malia’s backlash from fans who accused her of sabotaging Hannah. Malia also had to deal with Tom’s temper tantrums in the galley and his constant complaints about the yacht’s equipment and provisions. Their relationship eventually ended after the season wrapped up.

Season 6

Malia received praise from Captain Sandy for her performance and growth as a bosun throughout the season.
