Question 1
List your judicial experience (courts and years)
N/A
Question 2
What non-judicial legal experience qualifies you to be a judge?
Day in and day out, I am in the courtroom and know what is working and what is not working for the Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court system. I have worked in Cuyahoga County for over 14 years as a public servant engaging in more than 80 trials and more than 3,000 cases. In that time, I have held two supervisor roles while continuing to be a litigator. Further, I have committed to engaging in community outreach throughout my career.
Question 3
Why are you running for this particular court seat?
I became a public servant because I cared about the community I lived in and wanted to help individuals that could not help themselves. I have strived to do that throughout my career by treating individuals fairly and justly. During my time as a Prosecutor, I have done more than 80 trials and over 3,000 cases. I have the experience in the court I am seeking. I have done cases from juvenile court, up to aggravated murder trials.
Currently, I am the Director of the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force and our focus is to protect our children from individuals harming them online. Additionally, we get to go out into the community and educate individuals on how to protect themselves while on the internet and social media. I believe this kind of outreach strengths our community.
In this career you must practice with integrity and make hard decisions, even if it’s not the popular opinion or decision. I want to continue to make a difference in the community I live in, and I can make that difference from the bench.
