Rooted in the Valley. Guided by Justice.
I was born and raised in Dos Palos, a small farm town in California’s Central Valley, the daughter of a farm laborer and the second youngest of seven children. My parents came in search of opportunity, and I grew up watching my father work long days in the fields to support our family.
As a child, I helped my parents navigate government systems — filling out forms, completing applications, and learning early how complicated those systems can be for working families. Representation was not something I chose; it was something I lived.
I earned my degree from Fresno State and worked full-time while attending law school at night. Ten days before I graduated, my father passed away. His sacrifice continues to guide me. He worked so his children would have choices. I chose a life in the law.
I am running for judge because I believe every person deserves dignity, fairness, and a full and impartial hearing. If elected, I will bring integrity, experience, and justice to the bench and ensure every person who enters my courtroom is treated with respect.
Experience. Integrity. Public Service.
I am an attorney who has dedicated my career to serving working families, seniors, and vulnerable communities throughout the Central Valley.
After becoming licensed, I opened my own practice where I represented clients in financial and family law matters, including consumer debt, bankruptcy, custody, and child support cases. I also represented injured workers and individuals with serious medical conditions in Social Security disability proceedings, guiding clients through administrative processes to obtain critical benefits and resources.
For the past three years, I have served at Senior Legal Services, a nonprofit organization that protects elders over the age of 60. In this role, I have represented seniors facing elder abuse, supported clients in eviction and unlawful detainer proceedings, and secured thousands of dollars for clients overcoming governmental overreach.
My work reflects steady courtroom experience, ethical practice, and a lifelong commitment to fairness and public service.
