After finishing her time as a Bison cheerleader and graduating with a degree in math and computer science, Turner taught math and Spanish for three years in and near Jackson, Tennessee, while also coaching competitive cheerleading.
Though Turner said she enjoyed teaching, she wanted to grow and do more with her talents. Through the recommendation of a friend, she began working for Varsity Spirit in sales. After growing in the brand and eventually serving as vice president of development for Varsity Brands, the umbrella company over Varsity Spirit, Turner said her diverse professional experiences allowed her to move into a larger position with USAG.
