Before moving cross country to work in Washington D.C., she taught business writing and composition/rhetoric at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. She also researched and wrote national branding campaigns and social media for a Las Vegas-based marketing company. For about eight years prior, she worked as a journalist in her home state of Nevada, which included a stint as the business reporter at the capital city newspaper, the Nevada Appeal, during the housing boom and bust. She also worked community news for the Las Vegas Sun.com during the Great Recession. She covered government for the daily Lahontan Valley News, which gave Becky her first experience of covering a national news topic, the Fallon Leukemia Cluster. This foundation eventually prepared her for the entertaining task of covering the Las Vegas Strip hotel industry for Forbes Travel Guide/Startle. While a master's student at UNLV, she was awarded a U.S. Fulbright grant to Romania, where she completed a project to develop a series of contemporary American literature workbooks to teach English communication skills. She presented on this project, “The Global, Creative ETA: Energizing Higher-Ed English Teaching,” at the 2016 Annual Fulbright Conference at George Washington University. The workbooks started as her service project while she was a Peace Corps volunteer in Ukraine (2012-2014) as part of the MFA Master’s International Writing Program at UNLV.

These workbooks incorporate communicative activities and group work for The Norton Anthology of Short Fiction, The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven, and The Great Gatsby. The workbooks started as her service project while she was a Peace Corps volunteer in Ukraine as part of the Master’s International Writing Program at UNLV.
