Fresh Perspective

My grandma Joyce taught me that showing up matters. That speaking up matters. And that the people closest to the problems are usually closest to the solutions, if anyone bothers to ask them. Those lessons have stayed with me. I’ve worked in the White House, in community banking, and built nonprofits from the ground up. It’s a unique and diverse background not typically seen in those who’ve served on this City Council before. I’m running because we need more people who bring fresh perspectives to public service.

Community-Driven Leadership.
Real Results for Every Neighborhood

District 8 is diverse, dynamic, and full of people who deserve measurable results from their city government. I’m running to fight for affordable housing that keeps families in the neighborhoods they love, to make sure transit and city services work for every corner of the district, and to hold those in power accountable. Most importantly, I’ll be the kind of City Councilor who shows up, stays visible in the community, and remains open and accountable to the people I represent.
