She successfully argued a Motion for Summary Judgment to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals on the issue of race discrimination and retaliation for a large financial institution. She also has successfully argued and won cases in the areas of contract disputes, violations of non-compete agreements, discrimination, retaliation, and harassment claims. She provides employee training in these areas as well and gives advice on employee handbooks and policies, including wrongful discharge and social media.

Further, she has enforced relocation contracts on behalf of employers throughout the United States. Her practice focuses on industries such as financial services, retail, insurance, foods and distribution, manufacturing, health care, cosmetology, salon, and spa. She presents seminars to employers on the subjects of FMLA, sexual harassment, retaliation, social media and electronic communication, constructive discharge, ADA, domestic partner benefits, workplace violence, employee privacy rights, employment releases, discipline and discharge, employee handbooks, and performance evaluations. Upon graduation from law school, she worked on ADA and Title VII issues for the Legal Aid Society of Milwaukee.
