I have worked for LA County Counsel's Office as a paralegal from 2001 to 2005. I then worked for the San Bernardino DA's Office from 2005-2006 handling criminal appeals, and returned to County Counsel's Office in 2006. I worked in Dependency trial court from 2006 to 2017, handling child abuse and neglect cases. I have been assigned to the Warrant Desk since 2017, handling and processing removal orders for DCFS social workers. I have also been a member of numerous committees, including the Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Anti- Racism Committee (IDEA), the Joint DCFS/Law Enforcement Investigation Committee, and Inter-Agency Council on Child Abuse and Neglect (ICAN), to name a few. I am very involved in my community. I served on the Board of Directors for the Joan Macy School, a non- public school for girls and foster youth. I am on the Board for my church. I was the Teen Advisor and Foundation Chair for Jack and Jill of America, an organization that teaches leadership and community service to youth.
I have also had the pleasure of raising two daughters who make me very proud.- My years of experience as an attorney more than qualify me to assume the responsibilities of a judge. I was trial counsel for my office for 12 years, I handle appeals, and I advise Departments of Los Angeles County. I have served the County of Los Angeles as an attorney for my entire career and want to continue to serve as a judge.
- My goal is to make sure that everyone who comes into my courtroom is treated fairly and respectfully. That is the experience I had with my judges. That is the experience I want people to have with me.
- There is a need for more diversity on the bench. As an African American woman, I will add to that diversity which is necessary in a County as diverse as Los Angeles.
