What She Fights For
In the mid 1990’s, the company that Rebecca’s father had worked over 20 years for was bought by a conglomerate made up of several large corporations. Up until this time, her father was earning a good living and had a significant pension fund that he was counting on for retirement. Within a matter of months, the new company dismantled the pension fund, attempting to steal the money that rightfully belonged to the employees, including her dad. It was lawyers who were able to step in to stop the theft of the pensions of thousands of workers.
What Drives Her
Since that time, Rebecca has devoted her life to advocacy and justice. Whether it was advising pension funds on the best investments for their millions of employees, working with a company to make sure they treated their workers fairly and legally, or advocating for the rights of individuals in the workplace, Rebecca has spent almost two decades protecting workers. Along the way she also developed a passion for helping victims and survivors of abuse, both within and outside the workplace. Today, she works with organizations that are dedicated to helping victims and survivors of abuse, human trafficking, and students victimized in educational institutions.
