Questions & Answers

1. What are your qualifications for office? (50 Word limit)

2. What plans do you have to address your top three priorities? (100 word limit)

The Clerk of Courts office is about serving people, not politics. Therefore I plan to hire the best and the most qualifed individuals regardless of political persuasion. I also plan to apply 21st century technology in the management and archiving of records.

Every citizen that enters the clerk's office is a "Customer" and should be treated as such. Therefore as former Director of Customer Service for Cincinnati Public Schools, I will apply my 15 years of expertise to create a citizen friendly environment that will promote trust, openness and transparency.

3. What specific changes would you like to see in the administration of justice in Hamilton County? (100 word limit)

With a Master's Degree in Business Administration, graduating summa cum laude, I would like to see a business model approach to managing the system. I would like to implement business applications such as a swot analsyis and six sigma to increase efficiencies and reduce overall operating cost to the taxpayers.

These are very difficult times economically and it is critically important that those entrusted with the management of taxpayer dollars do so in a very prudent and fiscally responsible manner. Additionally, I would like to see a reduction in the size of government by sharing of services between elected officials....
