She was studying to be a playwright at Columbia University when her father asked her to take over the family business the "three Bees" (Sacramento Bee, Modesto Bee and Fresno Bee).

Under her watch the company expanded its interest to six daily newspapers, four radio stations and one television station.^[2]
