After graduating from Shawnee West High School in 1975 she attended and received an associate’s degree in Liberal Arts from Johnson County Community College.

Her mortgage career spanned nearly 25 years, with the only exception being when she worked as a legislative assistant to State Representative Scott Lakin in the Missouri General Assembly.
