Pillar 2

Direct Impact on Our Community

I have been pleased to serve 13 years as an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) at the California Public Utilities Commission. This means that I already have experience hearing disputes, evaluating evidence and rendering balanced decisions. These are skills that will permit me to be effective from day one on the bench. I am seeking election to the Alameda County Superior Court to have a more direct impact on the lives of members of the public who may appear before me.
