Her responsibilities included marketing, loan product management, conversions and acquisitions, servicing, and project management. She has since represented thousands of clients in bankruptcy matters, using that financial background to assess debt problems, Chapter 7 eligibility, Chapter 13 repayment issues, and the practical consequences of different forms of relief.

Her work is focused on helping clients make informed decisions when debt or disability affects financial security. By explaining court procedures, reviewing financial details, and guiding clients through bankruptcy or Social Security appeals, she provides practical representation aimed at helping individuals address immediate legal problems while understanding the longer-term financial effects of each option.
