She then moved to California and soon started a short career in the entertainment field and airline industry as a flight attendant. During the seventies, Saundra attended the University of California in Los Angeles and received a bachelor's degree. In 1983, she earned a master's degree from Azusa Pacific College. After completing 3000 hours of internship and passing the exams with the California State Board of Behavioral Science, she received her marriage and family therapy license (MFT) in 1987. Saundra also received certificates from The University of Southern California Comprehensive Sickle Cell Center as a Sickle Cell Educator and the California State Department of Health Services Genetic Disease Branch as a Sickle Cell Counselor.
After years of working as a therapist and social worker, she spent the last fourteen years working for four different foster care facilities as the foster care director. Before leaving the workforce permanently, Saundra worked as a part-time consultant for three additional years. During her retirement years, she decided to write and publish an autobiography about her life experiences as a teen activist, and as a white-skinned black woman living in America. She currently lives with her husband in Rancho Cucamonga, California, surrounded by her son and other close family members.view less
