She was a graduate of Midwest City High School Class of 1982. She began her career as a bilingual assistant at Lee Elementary for over 20 years. She was passionate about the families and children not only at Lee Elementary, but also in the Latino community.
Later receiving her certification as a medical assistant, she continued serving her Latino community. Even through the weakest moments of her battle she still continued to care for patients at Variety Healthcare up until the last few months of her fight.
