Today she serves the on the executive committee of the SIU Alumni Association and the Dean’s National Advisory Council. In 2015 she was recognized as one of the “Best Under 40" by the Northwest Herald, a daily newspaper in McHenry County.

She has returned to her roots in Illinois as a member of the Board of Directors for Follett Corporation, president of the Follett Educational Foundation and director of marketing and communications for the company's preK-12 business.
