She spent two years in prison in the 1980s, because her transgender identity was in violation of the public decency laws in force at the time. She later worked as a hospital janitor, and later became a nurse and an electrocardiogram technician.

She will also be eligible for election to the National Assembly of People's Power in 2013.
