Meet the State Attorney for the First Judicial Circuit of Florida

I was fortunate enough to start my professional journey as an Assistant State Attorney in this very office 29 years ago. Working as a criminal prosecutor and pursuing justice for crime victims within our community has been an incredibly fulfilling experience.

Now, as the State Attorney, I have the privilege of leading this office that I hold so close to my heart and guiding our staff in their quest for justice. 

I understand how essential it is for me to establish a well-defined mission and vision to steer our team toward the future. Thus, I am thrilled to introduce our office’s inaugural Strategic Plan.

In early October 2022, we formed a comprehensive committee to spearhead the creation of a new mission, vision, and the necessary priorities to achieve our objectives. This plan is fueled by our unwavering commitment to serve our community’s citizens, an ambition to boost public safety, a drive to increase efficiency through technological advancements, and the aim to fortify communication within our organization and with our partners.

We’ve developed our comprehensive strategy after meticulously carrying out an extensive employee survey across the board, examining the findings, and engaging in insightful conversations. As we contemplated our efforts and the people we serve, our aspirations for the future came into sharp focus. We are excited to present this plan as a guide to achieving our objectives over the next three years.
