慈善机构奥斯本于2015年开始了她的教育事业, 作为一名有诉讼经验的华盛顿州律师, 她接受了当时副院长的邀请，以兼职教授的身份教授BUS 2414（商业法律环境）. To her surprise and delight, 她爱上了向本科生和研究生教授法律体系基础知识的工作，并决定在学术界从事职业. 她很快被提升为商业法助理和副教授，此后一直在SBGE教授商业和政治科学课程.
奥斯本教授的法律环境课程（她为这门课制定了一个口号：“充分了解法律，像冠军一样处理它”）很快就因其生动的论述和在商业和生活中的实际应用而成为学生们的宠儿. 而不是剔除那些难以记忆甚至难以理解的抽象法律概念, 这门课程的重点是教授学生美国法律的“思考”方式, with special emphasis on practical skills like knowing when and how to hire a lawyer; what to expect if/when you are sued; and an overview of the concepts and likely pitfalls of which business practitioners should all be aware in specific legal areas, including but not limited to contracts, torts, business enterprise, securities, employment and intellectual property. 奥斯本教授的教学专长是结合现实生活场景, as well as news stories, video clips, and memes, into the classroom, 为了让学生们认识到这门学科的相关性，并能够深入地参与其中，许多人最初都觉得这门学科很吓人.
Over the years, 奥斯本教授扩大了她的教学范围，包括商业伦理（“如何成为好人”）?”); Introduction to Politics (“What in the World is Happening?”); Spirituality in Business (“Becoming a Peacemaker: Transformative Dispute Resolution”), 和宪法（“权利和权利”）. 她还负责SBGE的实习项目, 为学生提供咨询并批准他们的实习经历. 她喜欢在SBGE项目中担任商业和法律预科专业学生的指导老师，并担任荣誉学生的论文指导老师，这些学生的项目特别以法律为中心.
In 2022, 奥斯本教授接受了SBGE院长的邀请，成为该部门的本科研究副院长, 她负责海外本科项目的运作, including student, faculty/staff, and program/curriculum issues. 她与SBGE的其他院长密切合作，提供该部门的领导和管理，并保持其与协会的认证，以促进企业的大学学校.
