Gale attended local public schools, played flute in the high school band, worked for minimum wage at the local public library, and volunteered as a Candystriper at her hometown community hospital.

Gale has a nursing diploma from Virginia Baptist Hospital, a Bachelor’s degree in nursing from East Carolina University (ECU), and a Master of Science in Nursing from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-Chapel Hill).
