She returned to Houston and spent the last three scholarship years at the University of Texas at Austin. She earned a BS in marketing and finance and an MBA. She went to work for Southwestern Bell Telephone in Houston. When Bell had to be broken up she went to New Jersey and helped plan the finances for the new company. She worked for AT&T for many years and then decided she wanted to work for a company in Boston, Massachusetts that helped businesses expand and plan.
