Barbara always had a creative side to her, as her dream has always been to become a Professional Creative Writer. In pursuit of her dreams, Barbara accepted a position with Gannett Newspapers in Birmingham, Michigan, where she gained the opportunity to interact with news media representatives, editors and staff writers.

In 1981, Barbara pursued her ambition and took a giant leap into the world of entrepreneurship. She seized an opportunity presented to her of providing secretarial support services to various businesses in an office complex in Southfield, Michigan.

To further advance her management and entrepreneurship skills, Barbara co-owned a private-duty home care and management company in Southfield, Michigan, which provided home care services for closed-head and spinal cord injured individuals. This was inclusive with management of the patients home care plan as prescribed by their physician. Barbara was later the sole-proprietor of another private-duty home care business in the same city.
