Attending East Tennessee State University on a basketball scholarship, she helped ETSU to a 54–54 record in her four years of playing guard for the Lady Bucs.

Relocating to Gainesville, Georgia, she taught and coached at Robert Wood Johnson Comprehensive High School, compiling a 125–51 in five seasons, being named local Coach of the Year three times, and also serving as director of the Lady Knight Basketball Camp from 1990 through 1995.
