Penny was unhappy in her previous job at a casino where she was treated as a number and customers were often angry. She had thought about pursuing a career in the medical field by becoming a massage therapist but found her classes boring. Her real interest has always been in journalism and broadcasting. With her husband's support, she quit her job at the casino and enrolled at Full Sail University to study media, which she is enjoying and looking forward to her future career.
