After graduating from high school, Heather earned her undergraduate degree, with honors, from Fairfield University in 1993. During this time she also served as an intern with the Stamford Connecticut Probation Office.

Heather earned her Juris Doctorate Degree from Quinnipiac College of Law in Hamdan, Connecticut in 1995. She graduated in the top 1/3 of her class and was awarded the American Jurisprudence Award for Trial Practice. While working her way through law school, she interned for the private law firm of Cohen & Marlow in New Haven, Connecticut from 1993 to 1995.
