She went on to earn her Bachelor of Arts in political science from SUNY at Oneonta. She worked at KPMG MAIN HURDMAN as a tax paraprofessional and took evening classes in accounting at Hunter College. She left that position to raise her children and work part time as a bookkeeper for Alcamo Pools and Granite for the past 25 years. She is currently still employed there.
