After her graduation, Pitts went back to the University of Belize and this time applied to be an educator there. After looking at her record in the university during her years as a student, the president gladly appointed Pitts educator, making her the youngest person to become an educator there. Pitts would describe her years at the University of Belize as both rewarding and challenging. She explained her experiences by saying, "I take great pride in being a member of our national university, as it affords me the opportunity to contribute to and become instrumental in the process of nation-building here in Belize. We may concur that being an educator is one of the most effective ways to contribute to national development." She pointed out some of the challenges she observed, explaining, "A part of those challenges is the endeavor to strike an important balance between the intense teaching load, the commitment to research and publication, and the need to be of service internal and external to the university. Invariably, a faculty member falls short of striking the balance." She made a very good observation that students have difficulty with communication and expressing themselves in the English language both orally and in writing.
