I was born and raised in Santa Rosa, CA. Ever since I could talk, my favorite word was WHY???? My mom told me that there was a time that she would run out of answers and explaining WHY that she directed me to research the answer through the encyclopedia. As a kid, I loved to read and I LOVED reading the encyclopedia. The characteristic of always wanted to know WHY has never left. It led me to law school where I would ask the question about why were these laws created? Why was this defendant treated differently than that defendant? WHY and WHAT does the 6th amendment truly mean? I was and truly am passionate about the LAW and JUSTICE. I also knew in high school that I wanted to work with children. I wanted to make this world a better place.

Now, fast forward 14 years after graduating from law school: I practice juvenile law at the Southern Oregon Public Defender’s office and I love it. I represent youth who commit law violations and I also represent parties dealing with Child Welfare. I represent parties involving child abuse and neglect. I am a witness to how people can change. I have witnessed several of my clients access services to become sober, stable and safe to parent their children.
