She went on to work in clerical and supervisory roles for Nestle, Western Electric, Honeywell, Marcia Cooper, Adecco Staffing, and lastly with Brook Street Staffing. While at Honeywell Nila was promoted into a supervisor position. One of Nila's greatest passions were being an avid sports fan of all the New York teams, cooking, listening to her music. Her musical tastes included a wide variety but the greatest passion was for Johnny Mathis and Frank Sinatra. As she used to say it's Frank's world and there is no other.
