She received her Doctor of Philosophy in linguistics from University of California, Los Angeles in 1978 and was a founding member of the Association for Laboratory Phonology.
She was a research scientist at Bell Laboratories in New Jersey and Haskins Laboratories in New Haven, Connecticut, from which she retired due to illness. While at Bell Laboratories, she was known for her work on speech synthesis using demisyllables. She was best known for development, with Louis Goldstein, of the theory of articulatory phonology, a gesture-based approach to phonological and phonetic structure.
The theoretical approach is incorporated in a computational model that generates speech from a gesturally-specified lexicon.
