Before law school, she had a career as a Veterinary Technician and has used her technical skills to full effect as a legal intern for the Virginia AG’s Office. She has been efficient and amazing in her legal analysis skills and has just finished a “Link Card” which shows law enforcement officers what signs of animal abuse to look for and shows animal control officers what signs of elder abuse to look for in evaluating a call for service.
