She has never forgotten where she comes from and readily gives her time to community events, volunteers with schools and related organisations, mentors aspiring young lawyers, and undertakes pro bono work in special circumstances. Her dedication to philanthropy and the support and empowerment of women facing divorce is readily demonstrated through her brain-child the Divorce Studio.
