this city all my life. I have even lived in the same house for all those years. I grew up in the same neighborhood and went through our local school system, going through Old Orchard, McGrath, La Mesa, and Golden Valley. After High School, my brother and I pursued higher education where I majored in History. I dabbled in many different areas of history, ranging from labor history, law history, women’s history, and finally where I settled in Gender and Sexuality history. I have seen US history through its many lenses, and it made me fall in love with it. After finish 4 years of college, I decided to pursue my master’s degree and focus my field even further to LGBTQ+ history. While still a growing historical field, I pioneered a push at CSUN to include LGBTQ+ history in the college curriculum. I managed to get a few of the professor to start including LGBTQ+ history in their classes so that we could paint a fuller picture of what history is supposed to be, a story of struggle and strife and how we can overcome these obstacles. When I finished my master’s programs, I applied to work at the SCV LGBTQ Center. For the last 2 and a half years, I served as the secretary and have recently been voted in as president, which I feel honored in the trust the board has given me. My work through my advocacy,
has led me to seek greater change in my community.- I am committed to expanding affordable housing in Santa Clarita by supporting a diverse range of housing options, including apartments and multi-family units, not just single-family homes. I will advocate for smart development policies that ensure housing is accessible to all income levels, fostering a more inclusive community.
- I am committed to closing the Chiquita Canyon Landfill to protect the health of residents and the environment. I will advocate for comprehensive support for affected residents and businesses, ensuring they receive necessary medical care and compensation. I will also work to hold accountable those responsible for the toxic emissions, pushing for stringent measures to prevent future harm.
- I will advocate for the establishment of more clinics in Santa Clarita to ensure residents have greater access to essential medical care. I am committed to improving healthcare availability, making it easier for everyone to receive the services they need to stay healthy and thrive in our community.
