I’m qualified through a combination of training, experience, and character grounded in service, fairness, and integrity. I have over 15 years of experience in Human Resources, 13 years working in Harris County Justice of the Peace courts, serving alongside 9 judges across 5 JP Courts. I’ve gained deep knowledge of courtroom procedures, case management, civil and criminal processes, and the needs of the community over the years. My extensive experience working with prosecutors and defense attorneys, and hands on leadership within the courts, has equipped me to make fair, informed, and ethical decisions. I’m known for being compassionate, firm when necessary, professional, and committed to respecting every person who enters the courtroom.
Promoting professionalism, improving courts efficiency, being courteous, and consistent in all courtroom interactions is important to gain the respect of our community. Strengthening the community outreach and education so residents better understand the court’s role and resources is a must. It is important to foster a courtroom environment grounded in integrity, ethics, and respect to all who seek justice in the courtroom. Leading by example to build confidence in the Justice Court and ensure it reflects fairness and accountability is key to an effective court. To be a profound leader requires integrity, respect, compassion, and accountability. I am committed to delivering justice that is fair and efficient to all we serve.
