Bennett currently works as a Deputy District Attorney assigned to the Sexual Assault Child Abuse Unit in Riverside County, Calif. In her words, "If you hurt, abuse or kill a child, then I am your worst nightmare. Criminal prosecution is my game, protecting the innocent is my aim." She received a Bachelor of Arts degree from California State, Fullerton and a Juris Doctor from the University of Minnesota. She would like to be a Superior Court Judge (and has since the 4TH grade). She is a member of the Inland Inferno Triathlon Club and the California State Bar.

Bennett enjoys participating in triathlons, adventure racing and sleeping. She's traveled to Brazil before because she wanted to see the rainforests. She's also traveled to Australia to climb Ayers Rock and dive the Great Barrier Reef. She describes herself as spirited, adventurous and intense. She is most proud of being a mom despite her career accomplishments. If given the choice of being a superhero, she'd want to be Batman because he has all the cool toys and Alfred ("Every mommy in the world needs an Alfred."). Her hero is her husband, Paul, who works as a sheriff's deputy. If she wins the $1 million, she's getting new flooring for her house.

Bennett and her husband have two boys, Zachary and Caleb. They live in Riverside, Calif., with their two dogs, birds and fish. Her birth date is February 12, 1967.

Dude. I hope she looks better in person. Dude.

[fluff]

She has a slight "Zoe" vibe about her.

Nice teeth though.

[MollyRose]

I think she looks like Susan Hawk!

[springkey]

ooh!!!i don't like susan!!!
i hope she's nothing like her~~~~~

[fluff]

She does have a bit of a look of Susan about her.

I could go a long while without coming across another Susan so as you say Springkey, hopefully she won't be anything like her.

[Modesty]

I like her smile and her eyes! Though... she looks like she's too honest to last in this game! lol

You go girl

Also liked that she wanted to be Batman... I'm not sure why I liked it though

She seems cool from her profile.

Not a flattering picture, but she's a lawyer mom, part of a crime-fighting duo marriage. She sounds very "real" to me. She's my favorite from the bios. I hope she kicks ass.
