[4] After retirement, she began speaking about her experiences in porn and appearing in national media projects addressing what she considers "the harms of pornography," associating adult films with human sex trafficking and the exploitation of women and children.

She left Hooters and began working in a variety of other jobs which included a local retail store, the County Clerk of Courts, and the Supervisor of Elections office.

[3] One day, after posting bikini photos of herself on the Internet,[2][7] she received email responses that led to her modeling in Miami and Los Angeles for Playboy and Hustler.

Although efforts to date have been unsuccessful, Moran continues to attempt to have her photos legally removed from these web sites established by past boyfriends and business partners.

[10][11] In 2013, Moran worked for Treasures, a 501(c)3 nonprofit founded in 2003 by a former dancer to help women heal from what she calls "sexual brokenness.

Prior to her retirement from the porn industry, Moran had a role as "Tree Girl #1" in Nick Palumbo's theatrically released NC-17 horror film Murder-Set-Pieces (2004).

[13] In 2008, Moran appeared in the short dramatic film Oversold, which was a modern adaptation based on the Biblical story of Hosea and Gomer, in which she plays the leading role.

[7][14] Director Paul Morrell had approached Moran, originally wishing her to be a consultant for the adult business side of the story, but after discussing the project with her, he realized she would be perfect in the lead role.

[15] In 2011, Moran had a minor role in another Paul Morell project, the indie horror film Filth to Ashes, Flesh to Dust.
