Since being with the office, I’ve prosecuted a variety of cases starting with Misdemeanors and Juvenile cases. I proceeded to be the North County Domestic Violence prosecutor for 2 years that included training law enforcement, conducting presentations to the women’s shelter and updating the Tulare County Domestic Violence Protocol.

I served as a general felony prosecutor, working on a variety of cases including drug cases, residential burglaries, commercial burglaries, auto burglaries, stalking, felony DUI, Three Strike cases, attempted murder and a variety of weapon offenses.

I was the South County VAWA (Violence Against Women Act) prosecutor for the Porterville and Tulare areas that covered egregious domestic violence matters as well as sexual assaults and 290 registrant cases.

Currently, I am assigned to the Porterville Division as Interim Supervisor. Apart from overseeing the office, I handle all the gang prosecutions, some special interest cases as well as general felony cases.

Some of the cases I’ve handled include the Scott Smith case (possession of explosive material with the intent to make an explosive device); Louis Montion case (embezzlement); Tammie Bouslaugh (homicide/mutilation); and, Frank Millette (attempted murder).
