In their own words

Occupation
Supervising Public Defender

I first walked into Seattle Municipal Court as an eighth grader, working on a school project about public defense. I did not plan on a career there. I have spent the last 16 years in that courtroom and others across King County, standing next to people on the hardest days of their lives.
