My expertise lies in initiating, building, and trying criminal cases on the government’s behalf. With strong experience in conducting bench and jury trials while preparing discovery, pleadings, and various other legal documents, I possess an extensive background in representing Washington State against defendants. I have earned a reputation as a tough negotiator and a dedicated prosecutor with meticulous attention to detail and a dedication to upholding the laws of the criminal justice system. These attributes, combined with my superior analytical and research skills, will allow me to make a significant impact as your next DA.

My qualifications include the following:

Overseeing a caseload of 80+ indictments and handling all aspects of criminal litigation for the Pierson County Court.

Successfully trying 26 cases to verdict, investigating more than 295 cases for the Grand Jury, and negotiating over 750 felony and misdemeanor dispositions.

Conducting long-term investigations of various criminal enterprises, working closely with law enforcement and other officials to obtain evidence while adhering to all protocol.

Supervising detectives, investigators, and legal assistants in serving subpoenas, deposing witnesses, drafting and executing search warrants, and complying with extensive discovery requests.

Demonstrating persistence, persuasion, leadership, and superior communication skills to interact effectively with legal staff, judicial personnel, and investigative teams.

Earning my JD degree in 2001 from the University of Washington; graduating Summa Cum Laude.

With my background in representing the state of Washington in both misdemeanor and felony criminal cases, I am ready to provide outstanding service with the Skagit County Court. I look forward to discussing this opportunity with you in further detail.
