She graduated from Mother Cabrini High School in Washington Heights, NY in 1950.  After graduation, Sister attended St. Elizabeth Teacher College (now part of St. Bonaventure University) in Allegany, NY, where she earned her B.S. in Education.

She began her ministry as an Educator, teaching in congregational schools in New York, New Jersey, and Florida. Sister requested to be a missionary to Jamaica and served as principal at Alvernia Prep, Kingston, JA for 31 years (1962 – 1993). Following her many years in education, Sister Alma assisted in secretarial work at St. Francis Barry Hospital in Miami Shores, Florida.  She returned to St. Elizabeth Motherhouse in Allegany, NY in 1995 to assist with medical billing and care for the chapel as Sacristan.  In 2010, she officially retired and happily volunteered wherever she was needed, especially in the Archives. Sister was gifted with many talents and among them were knitting and crocheting.  For years, she made lap robes for patients and hats for newborn infants at Olean General Hospital.
