This included a certificate of recognition by Senator Debbie Stabenow and a tribute by the State of Michigan and then-Governor Jennifer Granholm. She was also presented with a flag that was flown over the U.S. Capitol building by Fr. Jim Williams, the pastor of Ste. Anne's Church, on behalf of Congressman Bart Stupak.[2]

As well as being the mayor, she managed the historical Windermere Hotel along with her mother, Jannette Doud, and now manages it full-time after her mother's death in 2015.[3] She occasionally contributes to The Mackinac Island Town Crier, the island's local newspaper.
