Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a mother, business owner, and practicing attorney. Over the past eight years I have served the citizens of our Commonwealth by creating and leading a law firm dedicated to helping families navigate the legal and financial challenges of advanced age, chronic illness and disability. For many of these families, these challenges mark the first time they have ever navigated the legal system or hired a lawyer. I understand how overwhelming the court system can feel and how important it is for these clients to be treated with dignity and respect. In my practice, I frequently appear in the probate and guardianship areas of District Court. I live in Louisville, KY with my husband and three children. We are actively involved in the community and in St. Agnes Parish. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Transylvania University and second in my class from the Brandeis School of Law at the University of Louisville. Following graduation I clerked for the United States District Court of the Western District of Kentucky before beginning a career in private practice. I have been an attorney for almost 20 years. During that time, I have developed the ability to think both critically and creatively. The complex problems facing our community right now require practical real world solutions. Louisville and Jefferson County need a District Court system that operates efficiently and transparently. I will tackle this challenge with common sense, determination and integrity.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• As a business owner and practicing attorney representing clients for over twenty years, I will bring real-world perspective to the bench.
• I will build a justice system that worked efficiently and fairly. I have been successful in both law school and law practice because of my ability to quickly isolate the important facts of a case and apply them correctly to the law.
• I will treat everyone who appears before me with dignity and respect. I am a mom of three and from toddlers or teenagers, I have always carefully balanced consequences against second chances while always protecting the safety of my children and their community.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am passionately committed to creating a fair and equitable judicial system that works to protect our community while still respecting individual rights.
