Why I Wanted to Become a Judge

I was elected to the King County Superior Court on November 3, 2020. As an experienced lawyer trained as a pro tem judge, a working mother of three children, and a former union member, I promised to combine common sense and broad legal experience in my judgements to ensure a fair legal system for everyone.

Now, as a Judge, I am honored to serve our community every day by recognizing the daily realities of people’s lives within our legal system – not just as cases or dockets to manage. I believe passionately in centering children and families as I preside over complex criminal, civil, family law and child welfare disputes. I stay committed to community engagement and systemic change on the Court and Communities and Family and Juvenile Law committees.
