She has been selected to complete numerous national multiple-day training programs such as the 2015 Capital Mitigation Skills Workshop in Kansas City\, Missouri; the 2016 Death Penalty College in Santa Clara\, California; and the 2017 NAACP Legal Defense Capital Punishment Conference (Airlie) in Virginia.
