She sold the business and went to work writing grants and doing consulting work for pre-school educators. She traveled for several years around East Texas working with teachers on how to teach many special needs pre-school students. Her last job was working as a curriculum developer for Kid Potential and Brain Potential in Conroe, Texas.
