An advocate for legal technology and access to justice, Qiu helped initiate a Chicago-Kent Honors Scholar project that uses technology to help legal aid attorneys prioritize and assist more effectively those facing eviction. She also worked as a research assistant on a criminal justice project relating to Miranda warnings, partnering with the ABA Center for Innovation, and served as a research assistant for the Law Lab, an interdisciplinary teaching and research center at Chicago-Kent devoted to legal futurism.

She chose Chicago-Kent because of its location and legal writing program. Qiu was the founding president of Chicago-Kent’s Tax Law Society and China Law Society and was Chicago-Kent’s ABA representative.
Today, Qiu uses her skills as a lawyer and an accountant as a staff attorney in the Financial Markets and Funds practice at Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP law firm.
