Heather graduated cum laude from Western Kentucky University, earning a Bachelor of Science with a double major in Economics and Human Resource Management. After graduation, she attended Northern Kentucky University Chase College of Law where she was a Kentucky Legal Education Opportunity (KLEO) scholar. Heather quickly discovered that she had a passion for using her skills to help safeguard the rights of individuals and ensure fair treatment under the law. This led her to begin her legal career as a public defender, where she spent six years representing indigent clients charged with anything from misdemeanor theft to capital murder.
The next phase of her career was dedicated to higher education. Serving as an Assistant Dean at her alma mater law school, Heather helped shape the development and growth of future legal professionals, working collaboratively with colleagues to empower law students in their journey to enact positive change within our society. Following this, she assumed a university-wide position as Associate Provost for Academic Support at another institution, where she led initiatives designed to ensure equitable access to resources, always striving to enhance the quality and delivery of academic services to meet the diverse needs of students across various academic disciplines and degree levels.
Heather has been involved with several community-based organizations, including having served as a mentor for the War Memorial Boys and Girls Club in Bowling Green, KY, and as a Big Sister through the Big Brothers Big Sisters program of Greater Cincinnati. She was also the attorney member for the Protection and Advocacy for Individuals with Mental Illness (PAIMI) Council Advisory Board.
