Bernstein was born in Bridgeton, New Jersey and graduated from Bridgeton High School in 1972. She received a Bachelor of Arts in Language Area Studies from the American University School of International Service in 1975. She later earned a Master of Business Administration from the George Washington University School of Business in 1981.

Career

She started off as a Democrat and served as a transition team member for Jimmy Carter and then worked around the Democratic Party until 1986, when she became a Republican.
