Experience
I have spent my career proudly employed at the Hamilton County Prosecutor’s Office as an Assistant Prosecuting Attorney. While at the Prosecutor’s Office, I have worked in the Family Law, Municipal, Juvenile, Felony, and Civil Divisions. As a Prosecuting Attorney, I fought for the most vulnerable members of our society. I represented Hamilton County Job and Family Services in custody cases involving abused and neglected children. I took it upon myself to prosecute all animal abuse and neglect cases in Municipal Court. In Common Pleas Court, I prosecuted the most serious crimes against victims including domestic violence, robberies, rapes, and murders. Currently, I am a civil attorney at the Prosecutor’s Office.
