Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

As a child, I experienced homelessness, transience, abuse, and educational neglect, and I became the only one of my eight siblings to earn a college degree. I was a teacher, foster mother, and community volunteer, and I went to law school to advocate for children and families who were like me and my siblings. I have written the appeals for cases I tried, and I have handled thousands of hearings in court, ranging from divorce, child custody, contract disputes, aggravated robbery and sexual assault while working in private practice, as an Assistant District Attorney, and as a judge.
