| Collapse all
- I have spent virtually my entire career in the courtroom. I have been trained as a Prosecutor and Defense Attorney, and I utilize that training to see a case from both perspectives.
- I am experienced in identifying root issues for criminal conduct and utilizing programs to end the cycle. I have required referrals to Mental Health Court, Drug Court, Veteran’s Treatment Court, Restorative Justice through VOA, Ignite through Goodwill, Seven Counties, the Healing Place, and more. This experience will give me the ability to seamlessly transition to overseeing these vitally important specialty courts.
- I derive joy from witnessing Defendants make positive changes in their lives through the system and ensuring that victims feel restored. I fight daily to ensure dangerous individuals do not continue to victimize the community any further. I know when to give an individual a second chance, and I know when that is not an option.
