A Miami native, Annette received her Bachelor's of Science in Business Management and Organization from the University of Miami in December 2007 earning various accolades, including President's Honor Roll, Provost's Honor Roll, and Dean’s List.
Annette subsequently attended Florida State University College of Law where she was a member of the Student Bar Association, Women’s Law Symposium, and LAWtinos. During her internship with the Department of Children and Families Children Legal Services, she drafted the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children in Spanish for Puerto Rico to adopt into law. She also participated in drafting the Spanish translation of the Florida Constitution, which was presented to Attorney General Pam Bondi. Upon graduating with a Juris Doctor degree in 2011, Annette was awarded the Evidence in Criminal Litigation Book Award and Distinguished Pro Bono Service Award.
Annette began her career as an attorney at Children Legal Services, where she prosecuted cases of abuse, abandonment, and neglect against the children of Miami-Dade County. She subsequently entered private practice primarily representing banks and businesses in commercial litigation matters in both state and federal court. During her time in private practice, Annette handled a variety of case types, including divorces, mortgage foreclosures, breach of contracts, and fraud.

Annette won 13 termination of parental rights trial and 7 dependency trials, receiving only one unfavorable verdict in her entire career as a prosecutor. She facilitated the reunification of parents with their children when appropriate, providing families with the necessary tools and services needed to achieve a safe home environment.

She was also a cheerleading coach and mentor for girls ages 3 to 5 years old and 12 to 14 years old.
