Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I proudly served in the United States Air Force for six years. While serving our country, I earned an associate’s degree in fire science and a bachelor's degree in business management. After being honorably discharged, I moved to Raleigh, North Carolina and became a firefighter for the City of Raleigh. In 2010, I was admitted to North Carolina Central University School of Law where I graduated with honors. I have practiced criminal defense and juvenile law for the past decade. Additionally, I served as a Regional Defender for Indigent Defense Services where I oversaw the court-appointed system in seven counties across North Carolina. In May 2024, I was appointed to District Court Judge by Governor Roy Cooper.

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?

• Fairness
• Public Safety
• Equality and Equity

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Judges should refrain from publicly expressing their political opinions to uphold impartiality. Sharing political thoughts could compromise the integrity of the judicial system, as it may lead to perceptions of bias in their rulings. Therefore, it is imperative for judges to abstain from discussing political matters in public to maintain public trust and confidence in the fairness of their decisions.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

Competence, integrity and judicial temperament.

Have you ever been rated by a Bar Association? If so, what was the rating?

No.

If the candidate disagrees with an edit, he or she may request the full removal of the survey response from Ballotpedia.org.
