After Professor Lee graduated from law school, where she was Editor-in-Chief of the Georgetown Journal on Poverty Law and Policy, she practiced law with Crowell & Moring LLP in Washington, D.C. Her practice centered on employment and labor law, government contracts, and antitrust matters. After leaving the firm, she held a Visiting Researcher position at Georgetown University Law Center. Her scholarship is in the areas of employment discrimination and workplace policy, with a focus on issues of gender equality. Her current research interests include examining how gender and race differences shape institutional norms, the role of leadership within organizations, and the relationship between conceptions of equality and diversity.

Before attending law school, Professor Lee earned a Master's degree in Public Policy from the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, where she received the Dean Albert Carnesale Fellowship and served as Co-Managing Editor of the Asian American Policy Review. Prior to that, she worked as a corps member with Teach for America, teaching at a middle school in Oakland, California.
