She later moved to the law firm of Quarles & Brady and then to Benesch, Friedlander, Coplan & Aronoff LLP, where she made partner in 2022. Her move back in-house to Subway in the fall of 2024 was fuelled in part by a desire to relocate to The Netherlands and she is delighted to be working and living in Amsterdam.
