And, especially because so many of our victims - and defendants - are minorities, I feel that the experiences and perspectives I’ve gained as a minority put me in a unique position to do this important work. Most of all, I feel privileged to go to work every single day because it is my job to always try to do the right thing, and that is a great feeling. In the time that I have worked here I have been given many opportunities to participate in activities representing the Office, where I can speak to others about the noble nature of the work that I do.

My experience as a minority in the State’s Attorney’s Office has been nothing short of extraordinary. I can’t imagine a better place to develop my skills by being in court, handling my own cases, and taking them to trial. It is truly rewarding to stand up in court for a victim and feel that you have given him or her a voice.
