She spent decades as a teacher in the Guam public school system, and was appointed Chief of the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation in 1969 by Governor Carlos G. Camacho. During this period, Salas started the School for the Deaf at New Piti School in 1969 as the first locally-funded program for the intellectually disabled and the deaf. She helped found and served as director of the Guam Department of Vocational Rehabilitation in the late 1970s and 1980s.
