She's a certified public accountant by profession and she plans on building up her practice agin now that she won't be in Salem so much.  

But it's not like she won't be traveling to Salem again.  She's been approached by several people.

"I've got lots of opportunities.  The Governor's Office has talked with me and some others have contacted me.  I'm working on a woman's PAC.  There's a lot of things going on -- which is kind of fun to sit back and decide what I want to do."

Telfer says she's also been approached to be an advocate for several local issues since she has the ear of lawmakers and both sides o the aisle.
