Her career includes various leadership positions including counsel to the commissioner of insurance in Massachusetts and positions in the private practice of law in Boston and Amsterdam.

She was a member of the executive committees of both those organizations and held other committee leadership positions. Donegan is a featured speaker and has written for various publications.
