She attended Michigan State University and North Carolina State University where she received her Ph.D. degree in 1971. She was the recipient of the Canadian National Research Council Postdoctorate Fellowship affiliated with Canada Center for Inland Water in Burlington, Ontario from May 1972 through 1974. She spent an additional three years at the Center as a visiting scientist and as a consultant to a research team investigating nitrogen cycling pathways in lake ecosystems..
In July 1977, she joined the staff as Research Chemist in Soils and Fertilizer Research Branch at then the National Fertilizer Development Center, which was managed by the Tennessee Valley Authority in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. While at work, she was subjected to many blatant employment discriminations, which she aired openly hoping the management would get the message. Unfortunately she was retaliated for standing up for her right and was rewarded with dismissal. She then spent nearly a decade of her time fighting for her basic right, the right to work to no avail because the legal system failed her.view less
