Ms. Lewis received her Bachelor of Science degree from the University of South Carolina in 1984 and her Juris Doctor from the University of Maryland in Baltimore in 1987. Ms. Lewis practiced in the litigation department of a large Maryland corporate defense law firm and subsequently directed a non-profit legal clinic where she represented victims of domestic violence.

In 1999, Ms. Lewis received the Attorney General's Exceptional Service award for her outstanding representation of the State of Maryland.
Ms. Lewis subsequently relocated back to her home slate of South Carolina and was admitted to the South Carolina Bar in 2000. She was then employed as Special Counsel of a large corporate defense firm and thereafter was elected to membership at the firm. She practiced in the Employment and Labor and Business Litigation practice groups until she formed Gaffiney Lewis & Edwards, LLC along with her partners, Amy L. Gaffney and Susan R. Edwards.
