She began teaching dance at Kendyl’s Dance Academy in Bedford. After graduating college, she was hired to teach Texas History at Carroll Junior High School in Southlake, Texas.

She resigned in the spring of 2003 to stay home with her first son, Landry. After giving birth to her second son, Connor, Mrs. Parlin returned to teaching and directing at Martin High School. The school year 2007-2008 was her third year at Martin, and her 8th year of teaching.
