My career has taken me around the world, including to Pakistan and the Philippines, where I worked with the Department of Justice to establish prosecution offices and train prosecutors, many of whom were women. These trainings emphasized the rule of law and the transformative impact a just and equitable justice system can have on communities. We tackled cases involving terrorism, terrorist financing, cybercrimes, gender-based violence, and human trafficking, with U.S.-related cases being the highest priority.
Beyond my professional life, I am deeply committed to community service. I have coached Special Olympics, mentored students as a High School Mock Trial coach, volunteered for Habitat for Humanity, and served on the boards of the Tucson Museum of Art and Tucson Clean and Beautiful. The values my family instilled in me drive my commitment to help others and improve my community. I strive to live by these ideals, contributing positively to society and working towards a more just and equitable world for all.- I am a career prosecutor dedicated to upholding the rule of law, building better communities, giving victims their voices back, and treating the accused with justice, timeliness, and compassion.
- I believe diversion and wraparound services are essential for helping non-violent, non-dangerous defendants lead productive lives. The county attorney should lead a coalition of organizations, including law enforcement and NGOs, to create integrated pathways that help our fellow citizens return to living fruitful and fulfilling lives.
- The county attorney should address the "crime tax" on businesses and residents by holding those who rob, burglarize, steal, and damage property accountable. People work hard to provide the best opportunities for their families, so it's crucial that the county attorney helps by ensuring those who cause harm are held responsible.
