She was always drawn to the academic world and taught for many years at a number of colleges including the University of Washington. She eventually went back to school to finish her own schooling. She is currently finishing her PhD dissertation entitled:
Female Authority in Film: Re-Mythologizing the Fierce Divine Feminine for a Modern World.
