Alvine worked at the Lewis Clark Credit Union from 1976-78.

After attending courses at Walla Walla Community College, Clarkston Branch, Alvine was hired to work there as an office assistant in 1984. She then became the GED program examiner and remained employed there until she retired in the year 2000.
