Carreira, a 1984 graduate of the William S. Richardson School of Law at the <br />University of Hawai‘i and St. Joseph’s School in Hilo, was a County of Hawai‘i Deputy <br />Prosecuting Attorney. <br /> <br />“Ms. Carreira has a solid grounding in mass transit in the private sector, and has also <br />worked closely with our current Mass Transit staff,” said Mayor Kim. He noted that <br />Polynesian Adventures, where Carreira worked earlier, contracts with the County for <br />bus drivers. <br /> <br />“This is a challenging position, and I believe that Ms. Carreira will be up to it,” the Mayor <br />said. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />County of Hawai‘i is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer. <br />
