Bonnie is originally from Rockville, MD but became a “transplant” to the south upon arriving in South Carolina to begin college in 1994. She moved to Raleigh in December of 2002 after living in Charlotte, NC for two years. After working for about 6 years after finishing college, she went back to school to Meredith College’s Paralegal Program, where she specialized in Real Estate. Bonnie has worked for Kathryn S. Drake, Attorney at Law, PA, since June of 2005. She got married on March 20, 2004 to a wonderful man, Tommy, who is part owner of the Factory Skateboard Park and Delicious Skateboard Shop in Wake Forest, NC. They recently had their first child, Grant, in August of 2006. They also have two dogs, Lucy and Bo, who complete their little family. In her spare time, Bonnie enjoys spending time with her husband, son, and friends and family, reading, cross-stitching, scrapbooking and making photo albums, and also finding some time to relax.
