Nolan previously served as an Assistant District Attorney in Middlesex County, Massachusetts. From 2005 to 2009, Nolan worked as a litigation associate at Goodwin Procter, where she specialized in white collar criminal defense. She served as an Assistant United States Attorney for the District of Vermont from 2010 to 2017.
