On abortion: Is pro-choice; “I have had the experience of representing some young ladies in those matters and they are very hard… regardless of what your opinion is, it’s a young person, who for whatever reason… is coming to the court to get that permission. As a judge, certainly follow the law, certainly make sure that as a judicial waiver, the minor understands the emotional, physical consequences….”

On humility: “I think humility is something you work on everyday…. I think to be hard-working and make sure you do all the research and do everything you need to do to make sure you understand the issues and ask questions of the attorneys and what’s going on this particular issue… humility is something to work on everyday…. I think it’s important for folks to come into court and to feel, when they leave no matter the outcome, that they were heard and their case was heard.”

Her judicial philosophy: “We should have grace and mercy for the folks who are in the courtroom… everybody’s important in the courtroom…. As a judge, I think it’s very, very important to treat people with kindness and with respect.”

Said judges considering judicial waivers should follow the law and ensure minors understand the emotional and physical consequences.
