She earned her bachelor's degree in philosophy from Northwestern University and her Juris Doctor from Western State University College of Law in Irvine, California.
In law school, she received the Witkin Award in Community Property. Through her schooling, she was drawn towards "friendly" side of practicing law and started working in estate planning and mediation.
Upon graduating, she went on to earn the 120 Hour Advanced Mediation Certification through volunteering at various courthouses in Southern California and aided in many family law mediations for over 10 years.
