  Minnesota Board of Public Defense

  Feb 2021 - now

  Dispositional Advisor

  - Interviewed individuals charged with a wide range of offenses to gather a social history and better understand what occurred prior to, during, and after their offense(s).- Wrote sentencing memorandums for defense, which were utilized by the Court to determine sentencing for offenders. - Conducted research in areas of criminal justice, psychology, social work, chemical dependency, and trauma, and veteran needs.- Specialized in working with justice-involved veterans dealing with trauma and service-related mental health and medical conditions. - Much of this role involves interacting on a very personal level with clients. I am tasked with getting to know as much about an individual as possible to aid in their defense and advocate for their needs to the best of my ability. Sentencing memorandums are written reports that discuss an individual's life, explain medical and mental health conditions, and often assist in making a case for an individual to receive an alternative sentence that can suit their needs more adequately than prisons, such as chemical dependency treatment, mental health care treatment, or a range of probationary sentence with conditions that will require an individual to remain law-abiding, sober, and/or possibly participate in educational programs for their specific needs and circumstances surrounding their offense(s).
