Upon finishing her undergraduate degree in mathematics with honors, she was accepted and graduated from the Medical University of South Carolina. After completing her residency training in obstetrics and gynecology at the University of South Alabama’s Women’s and Children’s Hospital, she received a commission in the United States Air Force. While serving, she distinguished herself at both Moody and Keesler Air Force bases, where she took pleasure in having the privilege of providing healthcare to our nation’s servicewomen before resigning her commission and being released honorably at the rank of Major. Following her service, she remained in southern Mississippi just a few miles north of Biloxi where she practiced in the small rural town of Lucedale for nearly 11 years while enjoying a close relationship with her patients and the community.
