In 2010, she started her career in community banking, gaining experience in a number of roles, including teller, customer service representative, and loan processor.

She is licensed to practice law in both Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
An active participant in numerous local organizations, Brouthers is a member of the Fall River Mayor’s Task Force to End Homelessness and the Massachusetts Governor’s Advisory Committee (GAC) for Lead Poisoning Prevention. She is also a volunteer for Credit for Life, a financial literacy program offered by BayCoast Bank, which helps high school students gain real-world critical money management skills for the real world.
