She was born March 23, 1959 in Salt Lake City to Keith S. and Bettie Mayer Jenkins. She attended Rose Park Elementary, Clayton Junior High, and Highland High School. She studied journalism at the University of Utah.

After five years, she was hired by the Smithsonian Institute as they were opening the African Art Museum. She worked at the Smithsonian for twelve years and due to health problems, she retired early and moved back to St. George to be with family.
