Debra was catapulted into national television when she was crowned Miss America in 1983. Upon relinquishing her crown she guest-starred in numerous NBC specials and pilots.

Debra’s creative abilities in television and music landed her in Nashville, where she enjoyed a high profile career in the country music arena. One of the family-friendly programs she created was a country music show called “Hot Hip & Country”, which aired in national syndication for over three years. Debra, in partnership with J.M.A. & Associates and Gaylord Entertainment, produced 52 original episodes each year. While delivering “Hot Hip & Country” into national syndication, Debra simultaneously hosted “TNN Country News,” a national daily news magazine show.
