She first became interested in the law as a teenager, while babysitting the children of the youngest Superior Court judge in the state of Georgia.

A loyal fan of the Georgia Bulldawgs – she drives a red and black car to this day – she stayed in Athens to attend the UGA School of Law. Her legal studies also took her further afield.
