Gina Hughes

Gina was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona, and moved to Arkansas at the age of 18. As a child, she dreamed of becoming either an administrative assistant or a writer—two paths that, in different ways, influenced her journey later in life.

Her path to education and career was a unique one. After earning her GED at 19, Gina dedicated 18 years to being a stay-at-home mom for her three children. At 37, she returned to school and went on to graduate with an Associate of Applied Science degree in Business/Legal Assistant from ASU-Beebe at age 40. From there, she began building her career in the legal field—first doing data entry from home, then working in bankruptcy law for a decade. After gaining additional experience in trusts, wills, probate, and some civil cases, she found her way back to her passion: bankruptcy law, joining WH Law in 2025.
