She obtained her M.A. degree in school psychology at the University of South Florida and then worked for several years. Upon her husband’s death in 1980, she moved to Gainesville and earned her Ph.D. at the University of Florida.

Dr. Dinklage retired from her career as a school psychologist and is now living with her dog Cloe, her seventh rescue dog. She enjoys reading, going to the theatre, meeting friends for dinner, and traveling whenever possible. She also enjoys writing about her adopted four-legged children.
