She was admitted to the bar in 2013 and is a Certified Specialist SBA Employment Law.

She has been a lawyer at Walder Wyss since 2013. Before joining the firm, she trained in a major Zurich law firm and at the Administrative Court of Aarau. For many years, she also served as director of the Winterthurer Musikfestwochen —bringing together her love for law, culture, and organisation.
