Her work has included numerous investigations at schools, colleges, and universities, including investigations into allegations of sexual misconduct and discrimination brought pursuant to Title IX, and complaints brought under Uniform Complaint Procedures.

Barbara serves as a hearing officer for Title IX adjudications and appeal hearings. She has helped develop the Title IX trainings for investigators and hearing officers used in T9 Mastered programs.
