Why do you want to become a judge? I want to become a judge to serve as a change agent in our justice system who will not be satisfied with the status quo and will engage with the public to build greater trust and understanding. That starts with guaranteeing folks are treated with respect, dignity, and have the opportunity to achieve true justice back in the courtroom and guarantee every person is treated with those principles in mind. I want to reduce harm, not create more. People come to courts in their worst moments looking for help and fair outcomes and too many leave feeling they didn’t have a fair shot and they weren’t respected in the process. That must change.
