Following her high school education, she attended Troy University in Troy, Alabama.

She made her film debut in the role of a student in director Jerry Thorpe's television horror film, "The Possessed" in 1977. She then played the role of 'Linda Larken' on the long-running television soap opera "The Young And The Restless" in 1978.

Her last appearance was in an episode of the television comedy series, "Titus" in 2001.

Following her death, she was cremated and her ashes were given to her family members. She never married or had any children.
