    About Me

    As a seasoned criminal lawyer with over 12 years of experience, I am currently a Deputy State's Attorney in Washington County. My commitment to innovative justice was recently highlighted during my tenure as the Governor's Special Prosecutor for the Chittenden County Accountability Court (October 2025 - February 2026). I am a 2012 graduate of Vermont Law School.

    Why Franklin County?

    I’ve decided to run for State’s Attorney because I’m genuinely passionate about Franklin County and believe that the best way to serve this community is to be a real part of it. To me, being your State’s Attorney shouldn't mean staying tucked away in a courtroom; it means being out there with you, whether I’m catching up with neighbors at Kingman Fest or enjoying the traditions of the Enosburg Vermont Dairy Festival and our local farmers markets. I’ve spent my career litigating across Vermont, but Franklin County's charm and commitment to community resonate with me.
