She spent 10 years assisting with sexual assault and domestic violence victims working for the District Attorney’s office as a Victim Assistant Specialist. Afterward she transitioned into the probation field and began managing offenders as a probation officer. She spent the next 12 years in the probation department primarily working with offenders with dual diagnosis addiction.

She is certified in the “Strategies for Self-Improvement and Change”, which she has introduced to the probation and parole department of New Hampshire.
