She works with a variety of clients across several industries including, but not limited to, healthcare, technology, banking, maritime, and transportation.

Additionally, she frequently represents clients in front of state and federal agencies including the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC") and the Washington State Human Rights Commission ("WSHRC"), as well as in arbitration. She also regularly advises clients on employment issues and conducts investigations.
