Denia is currently a Deputy Public Defender with the Riverside County Public Defender’s Office. She graduated from Stetson University College of Law in Gulfport, FL, and passed the California Bar on her first try. She is originally from Los Angeles and the first in my family to graduate high school and go to college. Denia has done Mock Trial competitions in high school, undergrad, and briefly in law school. Her love for Mock Trial and passion for mentoring led me to coaching the Mock Trial team. Her favorite part about coaching is witnessing the members of the team unlock a new level of their potential and their confidence.
