A graduate of The University of Alabama where she was the President of the criminal justice honor society and became a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. She then attended Thomas Goode Jones School of Law. While there, she won the 1L closing argument competition, served on the board of advocates, law review and traveled across the country on a national award-winning mock trial advocacy team.
