Later receiving her degree from Salt Lake Community College in 1993, she carried her talents to the Utah State Attorney’s Generals office in Salt Lake City. She was passionate about serving others and helping those in need. Her love for people and fostering long lasting friendships brought her and her husband to Pine, Idaho where they purchased Featherville Resort in Featherville, Idaho.
