During her career, she has focused on criminal law and on immigration law. As early as her second year of law school, she practiced criminal law in the Suffolk County (Boston) District Attorney's Office Appeals unit. Here, she learned the value of not only presenting the best case possible in court, but she learned to cultivate a theme of working to develop laws through advocacy in and outside of the courtroom. Her main goal is to protect civil rights for the underrepresented in the courtroom, through her writing, and through her advocacy in the community.
