I am originally from Logan, Utah. I attended Utah State University for my undergraduate degree and then Law School at Brigham Young University. I have been an attorney for 24 years, I have practiced in CA, AZ and here in Nevada. I have practiced in every area of law that the Justice Court handles cases. In addition, I have experience as a Judge Pro Tem ("Substitute" Judge). I am the mother of three sons, and I recently became a Mimi. I am passionate about my family and our community. I would be honored to serve as Judge in Las Vegas Justice Court Dpmt. 7.
  • I am the most qualified candidate in this race. I am a former prosecutor, I have represented clients in traffic, eviction, small claims, orders of protection, and criminal matters. I am currently an Associate with a small firm, we practice primarily in the area of personal injury. In addition, I sit as a Judge Pro Tem, or Substitute Judge. My favorite clients are the foster children I represent in a Pro Bono capacity with the Children's Attorney Program, giving the children a voice in Court. The Las Vegas Justice Court handles a wide variety of matters, I am ready on day one regardless of the assignment, civil or criminal, I am well prepared to be an effective Judge.
  • I have a tenacious work ethic. I was raised in a family where we had chore lists, my brothers and I had an early morning paper route, we mowed lawns, and cleaned apartments. We were expected to do well in school and serve in our community. My Mother always said to us, "if it is worth doing, it is worth doing right." I have learned the value of hard work and taking pride in a job well done.
  • I am passionate about serving our community with dignity and integrity, I am committed to being impartial and fair and treating every person with dignity and respect. I want to be involved in our community in impactful ways, to be a community connector, and help to address the issues that bring people to court.
I would like to be involved in programs that bring local school children into the Court to learn about our judicial system. I am also passionate about specialty court programs, where the case is appropriate, to help address issues that bring people into the court system. For example, mental health, drugs, addiction, and poverty.
