Culberson's work significantly contributed to the growth and value of the lichen collection at Duke
University. The W. L. & C. F. Lichen Herbarium and Library at Duke, named in honor of the Culbersons, contains an estimated 14,000 specimens analyzed by Chicita out of a total of 108,000 specimens.

After earning her Ph.D., Culberson held a two-year NSF-funded research associateship in
Chemistry at Duke before joining the Department of Botany as a Senior Research Associate. Over her 50+ year career at Duke, she held various titles including Senior Research Associate, Lecturer, Adjunct Professor,
