Education

Anita is a proud native of Atlanta, Georgia. She earned her bachelor’s degree in Political Science from the University of West Georgia, where she was on a full scholarship as a member of UWG’s nationally ranked debate team, successfully competing against future lawyers from Ivy League schools and other elite academic institutions across the country.

After graduating from UWG, Anita obtained her Juris Doctor from Oklahoma City University School of Law.

Beyond her legal commitments, Anita serves as a board member for Project 730, an organization aimed at tackling barriers to sustainability affecting the homeless and underserved by offering essential items like food, personal care products, and a compassionate support network.
