She says in her bio that she joined Konami in 1986, so she can't have started writing Castlevania's soundtrack any earlier than 1986 either (unless she somehow did so before she was hired).

Not really familiar with her, but generally speaking, it's not so uncommon a student who is supposed to graduate and join a company next spring already starts working for the company as a part-timer.
1985 ??? - Working on Castlevania
1985 Dec - Turned 20 years old
1986 April - Officially joined Konami
Konami let a college student score Gradius and some other classics. Given the status of VGM at that time (and her talent, of course), it's likely Castlevania was also scored by someone who wasn't a full-fledged employee of Konami yet (I guess it's a bit difficult to describe in words, since the employment system in and outside of Japan might be different. Not sure you see what I mean by a part-timer).
