She graduated from school in Preiļi in 1926 and later studied in Riga at a nursing school (1935–1937).

From 1926 to 1930, she worked as a domestic worker in private households in Riga. In 1930–1931, she worked at the Sorensen canning factory, and in 1932–1933 as a weaver at “Maraudums.” From 1933 to 1935, she again worked as a domestic worker (for Rabinovich).
