Ebony was raised in Florida and after graduating from FSU she moved across country to California where she became an intern for The Nieves Law Firm. She gained experience in criminal defense and quickly became skilled at law office management, client relations, and case management systems which prepared her for her position as an administrative assistant at a local actuarial firm.

She later returned to the criminal defense field as a full time paralegal at The Nieves Law Firm where she felt she could affirmatively take a stand against mass incarceration and demand police accountability. She recognizes most people do not understand why they are being prosecuted and persecuted and that the legal jargon used can be confusing so she finds joy in making complex matters simple to understand, showing empathy to people in need, and providing a support system through difficult times.
