She graduated from Lourdes College High School in 1959 and went on to earn her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Santo Tomas in Manila, Philippines in 1964. After graduation, she moved to the United States where she began her nursing career in the Greater Los Angeles area as a hospital nursing administrator and school nurse.

After 40 dedicated and compassionate years as a nurse and caring for others, she retired from the Los Angeles Unified School District.  

Her many hobbies and passions included writing poetry, playing the piano, traveling, sketching, gemology, culinary cuisine, and most of all, karaoke singing.
