They moved to Oklahoma where she had two children, Brylee and Brayson, and was a stay-at-home mom for eight years while selling Premier Jewelry, and led Stroller Fit. She was a secretary at Eisenhower Elementary for two years, and secretary at Chisholm Elementary for one and a half years. She began her teaching career at Chisholm Middle School where she taught science, and was also a coach for the volleyball, track, and basketball teams.
