Almost 20 years ago I started my journey in Northern Nevada as a baby lawyer and I hung a shingle as a small business owner.  I am so blessed that the people embraced me and entrusted me to represent them in their toughest of times.  I have learned so much about people through these experiences; the good and the bad.  I am forever grateful for the wealth of insight into people that I've been able to obtain.  After much contemplation and prayer, I've decided it's time for me to offer my help to my hometown community in a different role: as the next Department 2 Sparks Municipal Court Judge.  This was a very hard decision for me as I love what I do and am blessed with an amazing staff.  However, I must do what's right in my heart and what I feel called upon to do.  Thank you to all who have supported me over the years and who have helped me make this decision.  I need to give back to my community and serve the great people of Sparks. I know there is lots of work ahead to gain your vote and I'm ready to do just that.
