Since joining the Church Welfare Department in 1988, Eubank has helped establish international employment offices, has created a training workshop for entrepreneurs and has helped Church members find resources to start businesses. Her current responsibilities also include supervising humanitarian work in the Middle East and North Africa.
Previously, Eubank owned an educational toy store in Provo, Utah. She was a legislative aid for senators Alan Simpson (R-WY) and Jake Garn (R-UT) in Washington, D.C., until Garn’s retirement.
