Heather helped the UCF campus develop its' unique residence life program that bridged on and off-campus housing facilities into one community. In addition to the traditional on-campus housing facilities, Heather had the opportunity to work for the University in an off-campus housing setting, establishing an Affiliated Housing program where private housing solutions were offered in conjunction with residential life services provided by the university.

Transitioning from the public to private sector, Heather later joined College Park Communities, a unit of GMH Communities Trust, a national REIT focused on college and military housing initiatives.
