The law was far from her thoughts when Nicole Morris was a child; her parents wanted her to be a doctor. That dream faded as she got older and realized she couldn't handle the sight of blood. Today Morris is managing patent counsel for one of the best-recognized brands in the world—The Coca-Cola Company.

Morris used her scientific aptitude in college, obtaining a B.S. in chemical engineering from Northwestern University. She worked for six years as an engineer and earned a master's in chemistry from the University of Michigan before finally heading off to law school at the University of Minnesota. She worked for eight years in private practice—first at Schwegman, Lundberg, Woessner & Kluth, then at Robins, Kaplan, Miller & Ciresi, and finally at Kilpatrick Stockton.
