In addition to her current law practice, she teachs criminal law and procedure classes at Dutchess Community College and is a part-time DA in the Putnam County District Attorney’s Office.

“In my job with the Dutchess County DA’s office and in my work with victims, I prosecuted thousands of cases, experienced first-hand how vital the role of the judge is in ensuring both the safety of our community and the confidence that anyone who comes before the court will be treated with respect and can trust that the proceedings will be unbiased,” she said. “Our judicial system depends upon fairness and respect for the law, and that’s what I will bring to the Dutchess county Court as judge.”
