After several years as a spinner at the Selma Manufacturing textile plant, she became involved in labor activism and participated in the General Textile Strike of 1934. She went on to become an organizer for the Women's Trade Union League and continued her activism in a paid capacity for the Amalgamated Clothing Workers Union. She died in 2003.
