Born and raised in Waimānalo, Oʻahu, LeShay received her Bachelor's of Science in Pre-Medical Studies from Hawaiʻi Pacific University. Over the course of eight years, LeShay was part of the Hui Mālama O Ke Kai Foundation, where she created the ʻŌpio Leadership Program. This program was developed to instill servant leadership within the ʻōpio of Waimānalo.
