Came to Manhattan College after a successful high school basketball career at St. Catharine Academy in the Bronx. Became a leading force behind the creation of a women's basketball club, collecting recruits and sparking interest on campus. With enough faculty, administrator and student support, she helped build the Jaspers women's basketball program.

Within three years, the Manhattan women's basketball team won the Hudson Valley League Women's Championship as the only non-scholarship team in the league competing against varsity squads. The College rewarded the team's efforts with varsity status for the next season.
