She taught as an accounting professor until her retirement.
Carol was a long-time and active member of the RGV Chapter and served as a Director, Treasurer, Vice President, President-elect, President, and Immediate Past President. She was also active at the state level on the following committees – Accounting Education Foundation, Awards, Nominations, Relations with Educational Institutions, Chapter Coordinating Steering, and the Texas CPA Tax Institute.
