In 2013-2014 she was honored to have taken three of her clients' cases to the highest court in the State of Hawaii, the Hawaii Supreme Court; and won all three petitions for writ of certiorari. Senator San Buenaventura volunteers her time helping the public's access to the courts through the Judiciary's Self-Help Center.

Senator San Buenaventura was first elected to office as the Hawaii State Representative of District 4 in 2014. She was then elected to the Hawaii State Senate, District 2 seat in 2020.
