About Pandora
Biography
I was appointed to the Henry County State Court bench by Governor Nathan Deal in December 2018 and was sworn in on January 7, 2019. I look forward to serving the residents of Henry County in this new capacity.
I am a member of Jonesboro First Baptist Church. In my spare time, I love to play volleyball, paddle board, ice skate and snow ski.
