Prior to this, she was the planning manager for the Orange County Office on Aging from 2001 to 2003, a staff member at the district office for Assemblymember Lynn Daucher from 2000 to 2001 and a senior legislative attorney at the Colorado General Assembly, Office of Legislative Legal Services from 1993 to 1998.
