I’ve dedicated my career to upholding justice and ensuring fairness within Philadelphia’s legal system. Currently serving as a Judge of the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas since August 2016, I am honored to run for election to the Commonwealth Court in 2025. My extensive experience across the Criminal, Civil, Orphans’ Court, and Family Court Divisions has equipped me with the skills and insights necessary to address the complex social, economic, and governmental issues facing our Commonwealth.

Born in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, to immigrant parents who sought political and personal freedom in the United States, I developed a deep appreciation and respect for our democracy and the rule of law from an early age. I have called Philadelphia my home since 1985, where I have built a fulfilling life alongside my husband, Paul, and our two sons, Atticus and Emmett.
