In addition, she serves as the law school's director of Diversity and Inclusion.

She has also worked with lawyers and paralegals at several Kansas City law firms to improve their legal writing skills. Prof. Six received her J.D. from Stanford Law School, where she was a member of the Stanford Law Review.
