QUOTE:
“My judicial service motto is RIO - Respect, Integrity, Outcome focus.” And “The Court is the face of government to the community.” ”In court, I am polite, respectful, congenial, and kind. However, I am also direct and concise in my communication. When off the bench and interacting with my team, demonstrate respect for their knowledge and experience and am collaborative whenever possible. I encourage the team members to generate solutions to case-specific questions and share them with me. I have a great sense of humor that often helps us shed some of the stress that all court personnel deal with every day.”
