She received a Ph.D. in linguistics from the University of California, Berkeley in 1963. Her doctoral dissertation was a grammar of Lake Miwok,[2] written under the supervision of Mary Haas. She then started work on the Lake Miwok Dictionary, which was published in 1965.[3] She was appointed Assistant Professor of Linguistics at the Ohio State University in 1965 and remained there until her retirement.[4][5]
