She was graduated from Girls Latin School of Boston and Simmons College, class of 1939. She was one of the earliest female pilots in the Boston area and a member of the Boston Chapter of the Women Flyers of America. In 1936, she won first prize in a statewide essay competition sponsored by the Boston Sunday Advertiser and Boston Evening American in collaboration with Metro Goldwyn Mayer Pictures. Her prize was a trip to Paris on the S.S. Normandie and visit to the Paris Exposition as a guest of the French government.
