She was promoted to deputy public defender in the Middlesex Trial Region, where she managed regional office staff and represented both adult and juvenile clients. Sellitti most recently served as the director of OPD, assisting the public defender on special projects, leading statewide initiatives, managing training programs, and representing clients in criminal cases.
