She attended Sacred Heart Hospital School of Nursing and graduated as an RN in 1967. After graduation she moved to New Jersey and started working at Saint Barnabas Hospital in Livingston, NJ. Soon after starting her career in nursing, she went back to school at night and got her BSN at William Paterson College. She did not stop there.
