There is nothing wrong about saying you work in geology.
There are a lot of people that serve in different roles that work in any field. In marketing, there are the number crunchers, there are the sales folks, and there are the creative people.
Not everyone lists every single detail of their job when they say what they do.
Of course her being a secretary doesn't make her an expert on criminal law. That is not an issue of language anymore. And if you want to nitpick, who in here is a criminal lawyer and an expert?

i was taught english and here is an example
i work for an HR consulting and outsourcing firm. my firm does many things including the following
-Human resouce consulting
-workforce management
-payroll administration
-benefits administration
i specifically work in defined contribution plan administration and implementation. i would not say that i work in workforce management consulting even though the people in the offices one floor above me do. i do not know anything about it.
similarily, i used to work for General Electric. General Electric is a huge company that works in many different fields including regular household appliances, light bulbs, aircraft engines, medical technology, and network television (nbc). I specifically work in their industrial systems division in which they built basically large scale circuit brakers for for factories and nuclear power plants. but to be honest, i would say that i worked in factory planning and management, because thats what i did. to say anything else would be wrong.
i'm not trying to nitpick, nor am i saying that i am a criminal justice expert (where the heck did that come from anyway), but there is a HUGE difference between being a secretary and being a cop, DA, public defender, legal aid, paralegal, ect. I believe that is the point that Lil'Hannah and myself are making.
