There, she worked in media relations and then became Associate Director of Texas Western Press at UTEP, serving until her retirement in 1990. She became Assistant Editor of the Roundup, the magazine of the Western Writers of America and served two years as president of that organization. She also was Assistant Editor of UTEP's Nova. Hamilton also edited publications (like the El Paso County Historical Society's Password), authored and published books. She is a Past Sheriff of the local Mt.
