After receiving her degree, she spent thirty-two years in public service with the City of Los Angeles in an administrative capacity.

Institute of Étiquette in California, participated in various tea and étiquette webinars, and eventually amassed a library of materials including a collection of rare silver flatware and antique porcelain serving pieces.
