She specialized in asset recovery and prosecuting money laundering cases involving cryptocurrency.

In 2020, she left the Department to serve on a detail to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) as a Senior Policy Advisor, during which she worked on human trafficking and cryptocurrency issues. She left government service to serve as the Chief of Legal Affairs at Chainalysis, a blockchain analytics company that provides data, software, and investigative services to the public and private sectors. She briefly returned to government service when she was asked to serve as Senior Investigative Counsel for the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the U.S. Capitol, where her duty was to investigate all financial aspects of the overall investigation. After serving on the Select Committee, she left to launch the Association for Women In Cryptocurrency, where she is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer. The Association was founded to build a global network of women and male allies in the cryptocurrency, blockchain, and web3 industries, who believe in – and will advocate for – the equal inclusion of women in the future of digital finance.
