The prosecutor originally is from Chugiak, Alaska, where she grew up. She spent her summers in small commercial fishing villages. After high school, Newby attended the University of Oregon in Eugene for a year, then earned a bachelor’s degree in politics from Willamette University in Salem in 2001.

A Fulbright Scholar, she studied two years in Iceland, where she started an exchange program. Then she worked at the Alaska Women’s Resource Center, helping victims of domestic violence, and worked as a paralegal for an Alaskan law firm. That led her to attend law school at Seattle University, graduating in 2008.
