She undertook student internships at Allens, the Office of the Registrar of the Aboriginal Land Rights Act, and the Native Title Service Provider for Aboriginal Traditional Owners (NTSCORP) to supplement her scholarship income. Merinda graduated in 2013 and is an Acting Senior Solicitor at the Civil Law Service for Aboriginal Communities at Legal Aid NSW. Based in Lismore, she joined the organisation in 2014 and delivers advice and casework assistance to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in remote and regional communities throughout NSW, as well as to First Nations women in custody.
