Strongly committed to improving public safety, Price collaborated with law enforcement agencies throughout Orange County to train hundreds of police officers in drug recognition and DUI investigations.  Her efforts have been recognized by victim-services organizations, including Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), which honored her with multiple “Diligent Prosecutor” awards and the prestigious “Heart of MADD” award.  

In 2011, she was named one of the state’s top 75 female lawyers by the Daily Journal.  As a CSULB student, Price created scholarship programs and was active in student government, eventually serving as Student Body President, and she continues to give back to the university as a volunteer.  

In her spare time, she enjoys reading, traveling, and spending time with her husband, mother, and two sons.
