She joined the State of Wisconsin Insurance Commissioner’s Office in 2015, prosecuting insurance agents and companies that took advantage of elderly consumers by selling them insurance products that were unsuitable. Six years later, Attorney Fulkerson left the Insurance Commissioner’s Office to start her own practice.

She relocated to St.Croix with her husband, a metal fabricator/welder, in 2019 to offer their assistance, experience a new culture and continue her work as a life-long public servant.
