| Collapse all
- Accountability. As an Assistant District Attorney and Senior Felony Prosecutor, I have experience with holding individuals accountable when necessary while acknowledging that accountability looks different for different situations. My goal is to instill a courtroom culture that seeks to make a person better leaving the court system than they were coming in whenever feasible without jeopardizing the safety of the community.
- Commitment. My commitment to integrity, impartiality, efficiency, transparency and organization.
- Community. My goal is to work with community partners: non-profits, religious organizations, community leaders, schools, fraternities & sororities, local business owners and others to improve the court system.
