- I have deep roots in this community and have been deeply involved in our community over the last decade. I have served as the President of the Junior League of St. Petersburg, the President of the Patrick Brett Foundation, on the Board of Directors of the Guardian ad Litem Foundation (n/k/a Hero to a Child), on the Mainsail Art Festival Committee, on the Drug Free America Foundation Gala Committee, and more. I am also an active member of the St. Petersburg Bar Association, where I previously served as Chair of the Civil Trial Section. I am ready now to serve this community as a County Court Judge. I am committed to continuing my record of community service and giving back to this community that has given me so much.
- As a judge, my commitment will be to follow the law as it is written and apply it equally to all those who appear before me, while ensuring that everyone in my courtroom has a fair opportunity to be heard.
- I have had the unique opportunity to practice law in almost every county in Florida. I have been able to see how other counties and judges run their courtrooms and dockets and figure out what strategies are the most efficient for the fair and timely administration of justice. I will use that experience to serve the residents of Pinellas if elected.
