I believe my experiences as an attorney, a community volunteer, and a mother have given me the necessary skills to successfully serve our community as a Family Court Judge.
My professional journey, spanning near twenty years and working on every type of case in Family Court, has been dedicated to the well-being of children, parents, and grandparents who find themselves in Family Court. My current role as Schenectady County’s First Deputy County Attorney for Family Court has allowed me to oversee juvenile justice cases and offer vital guidance to the County’s Children's Services Unit. This current role builds on my previous service as an attorney for children and as an attorney in our community’s Conflict Defender’s Office, where I represented low-income families.
I began my career as a domestic violence victim’s advocate and attorney where I advocated for the rights and welfare of our community's most vulnerable members. Additionally, from defending the rights of children to hearing evidence as a court referee, judges have entrusted me with many important roles.
Beyond my professional endeavors, I actively participate in various community organizations. I currently serve on the Rotterdam Town Board and the Board of the YWCA of Northeastern NY. My commitment to these organizations is an extension of my personal values and a reflection of my dedication to improving our community.
I am a mother of four daughters who I am currently raising in our community as well as two adult stepchildren who attended Schalmont School District, and the proud spouse of a former Marine and current Air National Guard Master Sergeant. My personal experiences and professional dedication have equipped me with a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by families within our area.
I kindly request your support. Together, we can ensure that family and children's rights remain at the forefront of our community's priorities. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to the potential opportunity to meet with you and further discuss my campaign.
