Born in Raleigh, North Carolina, where her parents were both practicing attorneys, Edwards attended public schools in Wake County, including Aldert Root Elementary School, Daniels Middle School, and Broughton High School, where she graduated at the top of her class.[1] In high school, she played soccer, basketball and softball and was named all-conference and MVP her senior year.

Edwards then attended Princeton University, majoring in political economics and graduating with honors.
