As an attorney, victim assistance program coordinator, and through her own life experiences, she has developed a broad understanding of victims issues. But, she has a variety of interests, and currently owns an on-line store, entitled For, Women of Substance located at forwomenofsubstance.us, where she designs and sells specialty jewelry for tall and large women.
