She was born on 25 November 1901 in Airmadidi, Minahasa, in the Dutch East Indies. She graduated from the Teacher's School in Ambon and worked as a teacher in various schools in Minahasa, Manado, Makassar, and Blitar.

She advocated for women's suffrage, equal rights, and social welfare. She was also a member of the National People's Party, a nationalist political party that supported the independence of Indonesia from the Dutch colonial rule. In 1947, she was elected as a member of the Provisional Representative Body of East Indonesia from the National Fraction, making her the first and only female member of the representative body.
