Her educational background includes an undergraduate degree in economics from Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, and a law degree from Vanderbilt University. Following graduation from law school, she was admitted to the bar in Tennessee in 1980, and in Virginia in 1984. Prior to joining state government, she worked for about 18 years at the Norfolk law firm Kaufman & Canoles, specializing in corporate, securities, and banking law.
