She was accepted early decision to the University of Houston Law Center, graduating in 2001, and becoming licensed to practice law in Texas that same year.

She gradually transitioned from handling cases to working within the business side of law firms.

Her consulting firm handles projects ranging from database implementation and cleanup to digital marketing and intake. Stacey is a 13-year personal injury trial lawyer, licensed in Texas and the United States District Courts for the Eastern and Southern Districts of Texas.
