She is seeking to become the first female General Sessions Judge to hold court in the Rutherford County Courthouse.
"For the last 23 years, I represented families of Rutherford County in several different fields of law. I have greatly enjoyed representing our citizens in whatever crisis they came to me with, whether it was a family problem or if it was a criminal offense. Rutherford County has been good to me both personally and professionally. I have decided that it's time for me to give back to the community that I love so much. This new position really appeals to me because I have the experience in both the domestic and criminal arenas. Over the past few years, I have become aware of how desperately we need this position. I believe the experience I have gained throughout my career as a mediator has prepared me for this type of opportunity. I am eager to continue to serve the people of this wonderful community in this new role."
