She earned a bachelor's degree, with a Senior Honor's Thesis on Descartes and Husserl in December 1970 and a master's degree, with a specialty in twentieth century French philosophy and literature from the University of California, Riverside in 1974. From 1974-1976 she taught Philosophy and English in the California Community College system. She earned a second master's degree, with a thesis entitled La Logique des expressions intentionnelles in 1979 and a doctorate, with a thesis entitled Le Mot et la Chose chez Husserl et Frege in 1987 from Paris-Sorbonne University (Paris-IV).[4][5] Professor Maurice Clavelin directed both theses. She studied German in Leipzig in 1989, Halle in 1985, Erfurt in 1987[5] and Magdeburg in 1994 and Spanish in Guadalajara, Mexico in 1969.
