She was a former resident of Highland Falls, graduating from O'Neil High School and worked for the school system for a number of years after graduating. She went into the full-time ministry as one of Jehovah's Witnesses, starting her ministry in Highland Falls. During her career she worked with 12 different congregations, three of which were in Ecuador and was responsible for helping many to learn the truth about Jehovah.
