Her work includes securities, arbitration, regulatory enforcement defense, and the defense of broker-dealers and other financial services professionals.

In addition to her legal practice, she is pursuing a master's degree in data science to enhance her understanding of the financial sector.

She is also an alumnus of Bressler’s summer associate program.

At the same time, she also earned a M.S. in Food and Resources Economics with her thesis, The Social Cost of Invasive Species: The Case of Citrus Greening (received the 2024 Agricultural & Applied Economics Association Outstanding Master's Thesis Award Honorable Mention).
