Since graduating she has held a variety of jobs with tasks such as providing biological services for the National Marine Fisheries Service in Alaska, leading skiing and hiking nature tours in Colorado, coordinating adult naturalist programs at Redwood National Park in California, and developing environmental education programs for the Macomb County Public Works Office in Mt.

She spends most of her time working with local communities and a variety of county agencies in St. Clair County to implement best management practices that will protect and improve local water resource quality. She is on the board of the St. Clair River Binational Public Advisory Council and is currently working to reestablish the Friends of the St. Clair River Watersheds, the U.S. nonprofit arm of this council.
