She worked as an RN at OhioHealth for both the hospital and medical practices. Her favorite role at the hospital was working in the Labor and Delivery unit helping to deliver newborns and their care. Her time in the Labor and Delivery Unit included appearances on the Lifetime Series “One Born Every Minute.” She would go on to serve as a part-time nurse in the Upper Arlington School district for several years.
