She is a graduate of Wilmington University with a degree in Television and Journalism. She works as a full-time teacher and also travels as a pro-life and chastity speaker.

She spoke at over 300 events, ranging from nursing homes and veteran hospitals, to schools, churches and health clinics. While working as a spokesperson for various organizations such as the Delaware Safety Council and Wilmington University, she worked in the fashion industry.
