By the age of 10, she could speak 12 alien languages. By the age of 15 she had learned 25 alien languages. At the age of 18, she entered Starfleet Academy. At first she entered as a medical examiner. It was only after helping her new friends Five of Seven and Tever Nightwind, who were considered outcasts, overcome some of their problems that she decided to transfer to Counselor's school. She graduated at the top of her class and was assigned to Starfleet Psi Recovery Station 9.

She stayed there until she made Lt. Commander, then she asked to be assigned to a starship. She wasn't told the name of the ship, only that she was to report to Starbase 28 where her ship would pick her up. It was when she arrived at Starbase 28 that she was reunited with her old friends Tever Nightwind and Five of Seven. Also, after arriving at Starbase 28, she learned that she had been assigned as Ship's Counselor for the U.S.S. Challenger.
