She completed that degree in 1981 and began her professional career in ministry in the Catholic Church.  That career has ranged from Youth Ministry, to co-author a Confirmation Program, to Vocation Ministry, to Director of Religious Education, to Director of Children's Ministry, to Family Ministry and Family retreats.  She later completed a Masters in Community Leadership with an emphasis in Family Ministry, from Regis University in Denver, Colorado.
