Fa'agaseali'i is a registered nurse who has previously worked for Samoa's National Kidney Foundation.[1] She has previously run unsuccessfully for election in the 2011[2] and 2016 elections.[3] She stood as a candidate in the 2021 Samoan by-elections in the seat of Aleipata-i-Lalo,[1] but was unsuccessful, losing to Titimaea Tafua by over 200 votes.[4] Following the by-election she was appointed to parliament under the women's quota as the second-highest-polling unsuccessful female candidate.[5] However, the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly postponed her swearing in until all legal matters regarding it were addressed.[6] The Supreme Court later ruled against the speaker, and she was sworn in on 17 May 2022.[7]
