Who i am

I have been honored to work as a Magistrate in the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas, Juvenile Division, for the last five years.  As a Magistrate, I have presided over 2,000 Trials and Hearings.  Prior to becoming a Magistrate, I spent over 10 years as an Assistant Prosecutor in the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office.  As an Assistant County Prosecutor in the Criminal Division, I tried over 50 cases to verdict and had the privilege of practicing in front of at least 28 of the 34 Judges in the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas, General Division.  Prior to becoming an Assistant Cuyahoga County Prosecutor, I worked as a Criminal Defense Attorney in the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas, General Division.

As a current Magistrate and former Litigant, I bring a unique skill set that includes Trial experience and Judicial experience. I am highly confident this skill set will make me an asset to the bench.
