After attending local public schools K-12, I received a scholarship to the University of Colorado. I was the first in my family to graduate from high school.

Upon receiving my Bachelor's Degree from the University of Colorado, I went to Washington, DC as a United States Congressional Fellow. Afterwards, as I was trying to decide what school to go to for my graduate studies, I went to work for a United States Representative for one-year.

I then received my Master's Degree from the University of Southern California, where I was a USC Merit Scholarship Recipient.

After graduating from USC, I went to work for the Southeast Cities Transportation Authority (SECTA) as the Executive Director. SECTA was responsible for mitigating the negative impacts from construction of the Alameda Corridor Project on the surrounding communities.

After a couple of years at SECTA, I went to work for a large Fortune 500 recycling company as the Community Affairs Manager for Los Angeles County.

At the same time, I got involved in water issues and elected to the Water Replenishment District of Southern California (WRD), where I fought for the four million residents within WRD's service. I pushed for reduced dependence on expensive and unreliable imported water, and because of my efforts WRD went from being one of the largest purchasers of imported water to being 100% self-reliant and not having to buy any imported water. For my efforts, the most advanced wastewater treatment facility was named in my honor - the Albert Robles Center for Water Recycling and Environmental Learning. https://www.wrd.org/ARC

I developed an interest in a law career and with the encouragement of many, I applied and accepted to UC Berkeley, School of Law (formerly known as Boalt Hall), where I graduated with honors. I then went to work for one of the world's largest and most prestigious law firms, which provided me with an incredible foundation upon which to build a successful legal career.

In addition to working at the law firm, my 20-year legal experience includes (i) working for a non-profit providing legal assistance to residents who could not otherwise afford legal representation, (ii) teaching business law classes at Rio Hondo Community College a few years and being a guest lecturer at California State University, Dominguez Hills, and (iii) managing a small law firm fighting to protect citizens' constitutional rights.

This varied and expansive legal experience has will prepared me to have the right temperament, humility, and common sense to be a competent, fair, and unbiased Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge.

I believe that all Judges, without exception must always follow the rules, fairly and without bias apply the law, and never be disrespectful to any party in the Courtroom. And when as citizens we see a Judge not being fair and violating citizens' fundamental rights, we owe it to our fellow citizens to act and do something about it.

In other words, as the saying goes our freedom is not free, we must be vigilant and responsible stewards. We must all vote when we can, and those that can do more should do more, which I why I am running for Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge.
