From 1981 to 1985, Debra attended Bethel College, in St. Paul, Minnesota. She graduated in 1985 with a double major in Political Science and Speech Communications. After graduation from Bethel, Debra went on to law school at the University of Wyoming College of Law. During the summer months of law school, Debra worked for the Honorable Daniel E. Lundgren, United States Representative from California and later clerked for the law firm of Baker, Worthington, Crossley, Stansberry & Wolfe in Tennessee. In law school, Debra was active in Trial Advocacy and the Land and Water Law Review. She graduated from the University of Wyoming College of Law in 1988. Upon graduation from law school, Debra practiced with the Salt Lake law firm of Ray, Quinney & Nebeker. Since 1990, Debra has practiced in Sheridan, Wyoming.
