She's kind of a mid management prosecutor in Phoenix.
Only articles I could find on her are:
1. She prosecuted a cop for inappropriate conduct... and basically let the cop go with a promise to never try be a cop again.
2. She prosecuted a pedophile priest
She was a nominee for a judge position, listed as a Republican.
She seems to have written occasionally on sex abuse of children
Legalspan entry on her looks like this:

This is a page where she got an aware for NACo award for Sex Assault Backlog.
Here's a picture of her and her group. I think the lady in the middle is her since she's listed as SVU Director in the caption.
The award is for instituting a program that had "almost 2,000 kits sent for testing" when there was a backlog of 4,000. But whatever. It's a good step forward.
Here is the part that I thought "now I get it."

In its first year the program had almost 2,000 kits sent for testing, leading to five sex assault charges being filed and thus far, one conviction.
