She graduated from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (at that time a women's college) with a bachelor's degree in mathematics in 1948;[2] at the university, she was president of the Square Circle Club.[2] She worked at the David Taylor Model Basin, a test facility for the U. S. Navy, from 1949 to 1960.[3]
