Following graduation, she started working at Palatine Dye and also helped out at Ehle's Ceramics.

She would later accept a job at the Fort Plain School,  earning the nickname "Aunt Bunny" from her students, confusing many because she drove so slowly,y and retired after 25 years of amazing, dedicated service.
