At age 24, she received a doctorate degree from the University of Minnesota and was awarded a Bush Foundation fellowship. She majored in communication disorders, with an emphasis on speech and hearing sciences, and minored in clinical genetics. Because of her interest in psychology, her doctoral dissertation focused on Psychosocial Perceptions of Speech and Cosmetic Appearance of Patients with Craniofacial Abnormalities.[4]

She received a post doctorate in Medical Genetics at UCLA School of Medicine where she received a National Institutes of Health (NIH) Grant and did research on speech and hearing problems of patients with a variety of genetic diseases, including those with neurological and skeletal problems. Glass published her research in various professional journals, including the New England Journal of Medicine where she described distinct voice patterns in patients with neurofibromatosis.[5] She also discovered a genetic syndrome involving deafness and a dental abnormality, described as the Glass-Gorlin Syndrome (oligondtia and sensorineural deafness).[6][7]

In 2013, Glass attended Pepperdine University's School of Law Straus Institute for Dispute Resolution, where she studied mediation.[8]
