After receiving a bachelor of arts in English and a minor in Public Relations in 2010 from Baylor University, DaNae Couch earned her doctorate of jurisprudence from Texas Tech University School of Law in 2014. Now working as an Attorney at Lovelace Killen, PLLC, Couch also makes time to support Betty Ford's Five Star Kids program, Red Ribbon Week programs, Chris Herren's Project Purple, the Special Olympics and the Children's Miracle Network.
Before her career as an attorney, she was Miss Texas 2012 and a top 10 finalist at Miss America 2013. During her year of service, she made more than 310 appearances and traveled more than 30,000 miles. Couch says, “I did many interesting things while I was Miss Texas, including getting in a pit of rattlesnakes at the Rattlesnake Roundup in Sweetwater, Texas.”
During the third grade, Couch had the opportunity to do a special project in which she represented the three little pigs in the case of the Three Little Pigs v. Big Bad Wolf. “From that moment on, I fell in love with the idea that attorneys take people's problems and solve them. I have remained passionate about helping people throughout my educational career and my short professional career. You never know what battles other people are fighting and how much of an impact even a kind word can have on them.”
