As a respiratory therapist, I cared for patients and families facing health crises. As an attorney and magistrate, I've helped people navigate some of the most emotional and life-changing situations they will ever experience. Throughout every chapter of my career, one thing has remained constant: a commitment to listening, serving, and treating people with dignity, because I deeply believe that everyone coming before me matters. 

 

That's why I'm running for Judge of the Lucas County Domestic Relations Court.

 

For most people, coming to Domestic Relations Court is not their first choice. It's their last resort. Families come to court when they have exhausted every other option and need help finding a path forward. They deserve a judge who understands the weight of what they're carrying and who treats every case with the care it deserves.

 

I understand those challenges personally. I've experienced divorce myself. I know how difficult these situations can be and how deeply they affect families, children, and futures. People who come before the court deserve compassion, respect, and the opportunity to be heard.

 

My goal is simple: every person who walks into my courtroom should leave knowing they were treated fairly, listened to carefully, and given their day in court.

 

Justice isn't just about reaching decisions or telling people “this is how it’s going to be.” It's about helping families find resolution, closure, and a path forward. It is an honor to serve in a role that helps people through some of the hardest moments of their lives, and I believe my experience, compassion, and commitment to this community make me uniquely prepared for that responsibility.
