In 1992 she went to work for the North Beach School District as a para-professional then special education secretary and ultimately secretary at Pacific Beach Elementary School. She retired in 2014 then went back as a substitute para-professional until 2018.

She was Treasurer for the North Beach Public School Employees Union, Secretary to the Copalis Crossing Fire District #16 Commissioners, active at Copalis Community Church where she taught Sunday School, and was also a member and board member at the Copalis Crossing Assembly of God church.
