Aloitafua was educated at Avele College and worked at the Post Office and Polynesian Airlines before running a consultancy service for the Land and Titles Court. He was first elected to the Legislative Assembly of Samoa in the 2021 Samoan general election. On 22 May 2021 he was nominated by FAST as Deputy Speaker.
