She has owned businesses in retail sales and contractual healthcare services. Caspian is a member of American Legions, Disabled American Veterans, Lion’s Club International, and Veterans of Foreign Wars. She has a passion to help others directly and indirectly through volunteering and donating to local and international organizations such as hospital visits, fund raising, and child sponsoring.
