As a prosecutor, I work to ensure public safety by seeking a fair and just outcome in every case. I strive to not only be an advocate for individual victims, but to also be a voice for the interests of the community. Braiding together my empathy for others, an appreciation for diverse experiences, and an unwavering commitment to sound robust prosecution, I work closely with law enforcement in pursuit of the outcomes that each member of our community deserves.
