She received a scholarship to the Columbia School of Law in 2005 and she practiced international arbitration and anti-monopoly legislation in the New York law firm of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett from 2006 to 2009.
She worked as the deputy director of the Accountability Office at New York City Department of Education, in 2006, and she was sort of a part-time legal officer in the Institute for Political Integrity of the New York University School of Law from August 2008 until July 2009, when she received her first appointment in the State Department.
