After graduating with a B.A. in 1919 she lived in Hamilton and taught at Kingsthorpe, a private girls' school. She then returned to Millbrook to care for her mother and while there took an active interest in the community, especially her church and the local branch of the Red Cross. She eventually settled in Toronto and was active in the St. Hilda's College Alumnae Association. She was Year Group Convenor for the years prior to 1922 and kept the Alumnae well informed of College activities either personally or by correspondence as well as keeping Convocation up to date with news of alumnae.
