Her private focus group consulting practice supports many national health and social marketing programs sponsored by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Institutes of Health (NIH), University of Maryland School of Public Health, and other government agencies, universities, foundations, community organizations, public relations firms, and pharmaceutical research companies.

Following this, a graduate school internship at NIH opened up the world of social marketing and the application of commercial marketing and advertising techniques to health, environmental, and social issues. Post-NIH, and nearly a decade with a private public relations firm, she turned full time to managing focus group research, helping clients choose locations, recruit participants, and moderating groups to gauge audience knowledge, attitudes, behavior, and reactions to concepts, messages, and programs on myriad subjects.
