Ondina was born in Havana, Cuba, and came to the United States with her parents and siblings. They settled in Rome, Georgia, where her parents found employment at Berry College. She earned a B.A. and M.A. in History simultaneously, an M.A. in International Finance, and a Ph.D. in History. Most of her working life has been in the non-profit sector, initially in small organizations and then as a teacher.
