Appeal from a judgment of the County Court of Washington County (McKeighan, J.), rendered July 25, 2008, convicting defendant upon her plea of guilty of the crimes of burglary in the second degree and burglary in the third degree.

Here, the record reflects that defendant actively participated in the plea colloquy, answered County Court’s questions intelligently, acknowledged that she understood the consequences of the plea and the nature of the proceedings, had conferred with counsel and accepted the terms of the plea agreement.
