After graduating, she taught Health Education at a public middle school and coached basketball. She and her husband, Paul, married in 1988.
In 1997, Vicki and her family relocated to North Carolina, where she continued to teach, which has always been one of her passions.

During this time, she not only coached basketball for four years but also served as the Director of Development, coordinating fundraising banquets, volunteers, and events.
Her passion for community and entrepreneurship took a bold step when she ventured into the world of business. In January 2013, Vicki opened "Thanks A Latte Coffee and Gift Boutique" in Holly Springs, NC, and later expanded with a second location in Angier in December 2022.
Beyond her professional endeavors, Vicki's heart for service reached global proportions. She embarked on numerous mission trips, serving on evangelism teams, medical teams, and speaking for women's ministry teams in Ecuador, Italy, and Austria. This global perspective reflects Vicki's commitment to making a positive impact on lives, both near and far.
Vicki and her husband, Paul, have three married children and nine grandchildren ranging in ages 9-2, all living close by in Wake County.
