She earned a B.A. (1938) and M.Ed. (1959) from the University of Texas at Austin, and an M.D. (1954) from the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston.

She participated in many community and Mexican American organizations, and served on several advisory and executive boards on the county, state, and national levels. She published historical works dealing with South Texas and northern Mexico.
