Hager has worked in political consulting and fundraising, connecting with many state-wide politicians.

Outside of her professional pursuits, Hager enjoys reading, hiking around Monterey, and indulging in her love for pets by pet-sitting for her friends. Literature is one of Hager’s passions so you can always find her with a book in her hand. Her favorite book is Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. Haj is very passionate about animals and works hard to be an advocate for them in any way she can. While Haj doesn’t currently have her own pets, she is counting down the days until she has her own!
