Before her work in student advocacy, she was a staff attorney at Legal Action of Wisconsin, where she represented clients facing elder abuse and housing injustice. She was part of the original team of attorneys that operated Milwaukee's Eviction Defense Project (EDP). In her role with the EDP, she trained hundreds of attorneys across the state on housing law and client counseling, she oversaw volunteer attorneys in their representation of tenants, and she presented at various community centers on renter's rights.
