She was co-editor of The National Fantasy Fan in 1954 (with Nan Gerding), Femzine (with Noreen Falasca), and The Bulletin of the Cleveland Science Fiction Society (with Harlan Ellison). She was a model in the LASFS Fashion Show that Bjo Wells ran at Solacon.

She generally gafiated after that, but attended Baycon in 1968.
