Growing up in a small town in Northeastern Colorado, where her graduating class boasted 11 students, Wendy then graduated from Colorado State University with a BA in social science.  During her college years, she got her feet wet in the law working at the firm of Fischer Brown Huddleson and Gunn, P.C. as an office services clerk.  After college, Wendy worked at the Arapahoe County District Attorney’s office, child support enforcement division where she was an enforcement paralegal.
