After graduation she moved to Washington, DC where she worked at the American Society for Microbiologists. After much consideration she decided to refocus her career path.  She accepted a position in the Washington DC Public School System as a teacher.  She is currently a 4th grade teacher at Scott Montgomery Elementary in N.W.
