After graduating from Albertus Magnus College in 1965, she moved to Baltimore, where she, got married, began a family and had a career in public relations. She turned to writing fiction in her mid-fifties, and her observations observation about Baltimore’s deeply inscribed cultural moirés became the foundation for her award-winning short story collection, St. Bart’s Way.
