My undergraduate degree permeates every aspect of my life
My undergraduate degree permeates every aspect of my life, personally and professionally. It has paved the way for success to all my aspirations. My success as a family law attorney was integral to my election as a Superior Court Judge. During my contested election, my campaign focus on child and family issues totally changed the climate of the campaign in my rural five county area. All the candidates in every race brought into the issues I outlined as pivotal issues. Children and families became every candidate's issues. It is a rare voter who has not been impacted by a family legal issue in some way.
