After working for a year, she earned her MBA at the age of 23, and quickly parlayed her educational knowledge and professional acumen to consulting with law firms. She started her career on the east coast, moved to the Midwest, and finally landed in San Francisco where she was one of the first marketing directors in the country for large corporate law firms.
While Lucretia loved the fast paced life of the big city, when she and her husband began having children, they chose the family friendly city of Tucson as the place to raise their family. Once there, she utilized her entrepreneurial spirit and corporate knowledge to launch the community newspaper called The Vail Voice, and The American Woman Shooter gun magazine.

- As a sovereign nation, we have a right to say who comes into our country and who doesn't. We must control our borders. Criminal elements and drug traffickers are ruining opportunity for those immigrants who would like to grab ahold of the American dream and become productive, contributing members of society. I support the findings of the Western States Sheriff's Association in their resolution affirmed earlier in 2021. Our border is in crisis and is a threat to national security, public safety, and human rights. The numbers are staggering with more than 3,000 people a day either caught or surrendering there.
