She was admitted to practice in North Carolina in 1995, after receiving her bachelor's degree in Public Administration in 1991 from James Madison College at Michigan State University and her J.D. degree from Campbell University in 1995. She has also served in the U.S. Army Judge Advocate General Corps, retiring at the rank of Captain.

Ms. Stewart primarily practices Family Law. In 2000, she was elected as the youngest and one of the first females to serve as a District Court Judge in the 11th Judicial District which encompasses Johnston, Harnett and Lee counties, serving until January 2006 when she returned to private practice.

While a judge, Ms. Stewart served most of her time in domestic court. As an attorney, she has tried/heard cases involving a wide range of topics including difficult child custody issues, multimillion dollar alimony/spousal support matters, equitable distribution child support, juvenile matters and separation/ante nuptial agreements.
