She earned a bachelor’s degree in education from Brescia College in 1969 and a master’s degree in education from Western Kentucky University in 1973. She was a teacher for 35 years in Kentucky. She taught at St. Brigid School, Vine Grove (1957-59) and in Louisville at St. Columba (1959-61) and St. Denis (1961-67). She was principal (1986-87) and taught religion (1987-93) at St. Ann School, Morganfield, and was parish minister at St. Ann Church (1985-86). She taught at St. Thomas More School, Paducah (1967-85) while serving as its principal from 1983-85.

She served as the receptionist at the Sister Visitor Center (Catholic Charities) in Louisville from 1993 until her retirement in 2015. She volunteered for a year in Louisville before retiring to the Motherhouse, where she is active in the Powerhouse of Prayer.
