She attended college at the University of Miami, Ohio, and then enrolled in Spalding for Counseling Psychology and her Master’s, which she used to help families with alcohol abuse. Her father joined the United States Army at the beginning of World War II at age 42 and eventually landed at Fort Bragg.
