Early life and education[]

The daughter of Williamson Sylvester Stuckey Jr. (who went on to become a congressman), Stuckey spent her early life in Washington, D.C. Stuckey attended the University of Georgia and earned a B.A. in French in 1989.[4] In 1992 Stuckey earned a J.D. from the University of Georgia School of Law.[5]

Career[]

Stuckey worked as legislative aide and attorney to Georgia Senator Mary Margaret Oliver while building her own practice. In 1998, Stuckey ran her first successful political campaign representing Dekalb County in Georgia's House of Representatives until 2013.[6]

After 14 years in the Georgia House of Representative, Stuckey announced in 2012 that she would not seek re-election. GreenLaw, an environmentally focused law resource center, announced that Stuckey would be their next executive director.[2]

In 2015, Stuckey was appointed by Atlanta mayor Kasim Reed to be Director of Sustainability for the City of Atlanta and then to the position of Chief Resilience Officer.[7]

In late 2019, Stuckey became the third-generation CEO of Stuckey's Corporation. Stuckey stated her optimism and personal connection to the Stuckey brand. In addition to modest store growth, she shared how pecans and supporting the vision of the "great American road trip"[8] would be a central part of Stuckey's Corporation growth.[1]
