How to protect your reputation?

Question

The professor tried to destroy my reputation because I made a report against her with the dean. I won the case, but I am worried about the outcome that she may lose her job and will do some revenges on me. 

She knows my birthday date, full name, and my interests. I am worried about getting a career somewhere else to start my new life, then she could try to destroy my career eventually.

Do you have any suggestions how I can protect my reputation and my career after what happened to her? I wished that I could not do that, but I had no choice. If I didn’t report on her, then I would not graduate to finish my program at all.
