In 1916, she enrolled in the Faculty of Law at the Bestuzhev Higher Women’s Courses in Petrograd, but poverty and the war prevented her from continuing her studies.

From 1928, she taught mathematics at several Jewish educational institutions in Riga, including the 3rd Riga Jewish City Primary School, the Jewish Private Real Gymnasium of P.A. Dolgikh, the 7th Riga Jewish City Primary School, the Riga Jewish Public Gymnasium and Primary School, the Riga Jewish Private Primary School and Gymnasium of engineer-technician Ya. L. Landau, and the Private Jewish Secondary and Primary School of S. Gorfinkel.
