She holds a Master of Fine Art from Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas and joined the faculty at Midwestern State University (MSU) in Wichita Falls, Texas in 2005.

She has a combined 15 years of Art Administration experience, five of which were spent at the Buddy Holly Center in Lubbock Texas.  

In 2008 Prose began directing the printmaking program at MSU where she made significant contribution in transitioning the print studio into a non-toxic working environment and effectively contemporized the technology used to teach students.
