Since her move to Texas in 2011, Nancy's professional journey has encompassed multiple part-time roles, including serving as an Office Administrator at Edward Jones, engaging in private consulting, and working as a Sales Executive for a third-party logistics company.

Notably, she initiated the first telemarketing pilot program for employees, contributing to a balanced family life before remote work became popular. Nancy's proactive approach extended to developing a policy manual and successfully testing the program, establishing it as a valuable corporate initiative.
