Garde-Wilson is a graduate of the University of Western Australia, where she attended St. George's College.

Upon graduation, Garde-Wilson commenced articles of clerkship with Perth and Melbourne criminal law firm Pryles & Defteros.

She was a girlfriend to convicted criminal, Lewis Caine, himself a victim in 2004 of the gangland killings. Devastated following Lewis Caine's death, Garde-Wilson hoped to bear a child fathered posthumously by Caine. Her application to the Supreme Court to gain access to his frozen sperm for this purpose was rejected, following intervention by Caine's family.

Garde-Wilson was set to face trial on charges of possessing an unregistered gun that had allegedly belonged to Caine.cite news
