Garner developed an early interest in the stage, studying ballet for nine years, which she credits for instilling determination. She pursued her passion for performance at Denison University, where she initially majored in chemistry before switching to theater. After graduating in 1994 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, she moved to New York City in 1995 to begin her acting career.

A significant turning point came with her recurring role in J. J. Abrams’ college drama series ‘Felicity’ in 1998.
