According to the firm, Kennedy brings experience in both criminal prosecution and survivor-focused advocacy. Before joining Wagners, she served as a Crown attorney with the Nova Scotia Public Prosecution Service, where she prosecuted a range of cases, including sexual assault matters.

In addition to her practice, Kennedy teaches at the Schulich School of Law at Dalhousie University, where she instructs the course Law of Sexual Offences.
