After a JD from Columbia University School of Law that followed a BA from Brown University, Klein went on to serve in advisory positions in the White House (Special Assistant to President Bill Clinton on the Domestic Policy Council, and senior domestic policy advisor to First Lady Hillary Clinton) and in the U.S. Department of State (Deputy and Senior Advisor, Secretary’s Office of Global Women’s Issues), before taking on the role current as of July 2024.[1][non-primary source needed] Klein's work advising President Biden "on issues including reproductive rights, gender-based violence, and women’s economic security" continue the focus on American gender policy at domestic and international levels that has characterised her career.[1][non-primary source needed]
