She also serves as Secretary of the Pennsylvania Bar Association Workers' Compensation Executive Counsel, a role that places her among the association members who shape policy discussions and educational programs in that area.
Her work often involves contested hearings, advocacy before administrative bodies and trial practice. She prepares evidence, examines witnesses and argues motions in both state courts and workers' compensation forums. Her practice reflects steady involvement in litigation and the procedural landscape that governs workplace injury claims and related disputes.
