From teenage runaway and unhoused student to community advocate and policy expert, I have consistently turned issues into action and never shied away from the work. Whether it be co-founding a nonprofit to serve the most vulnerable residents of Sacramento during a global pandemic or advocating for resources in my neighborhood, I have always believed that direct, community-led action is the most effective way to fight for change.
I have more than eight years of experience navigating state and local government to get policies through and have been active in the community, including as the vice president of the Oak Park Neighborhood Association, board member of Wind Youth Services, and active member of several democratic clubs and organizations. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of California, Davis.- Our city is in a housing crisis and many residents are struggling to make ends meet as they pay more and more of their income on rent. We must build more affordable housing as quickly as possible.
- Last year, we learned that nearly 200 people died on our streets. We must work together by taking a regional approach to end homelessness so no more people experience the same fate.
- Many neighborhoods in District 5 have an average income of $20,000 a year, making it difficult for residents to afford the rising cost of rent, food, gas, and childcare. I need to build pathways to high-paying union jobs by bringing apprenticeship programs to our communities.
My passion for fighting against poverty and injustice stems from my personal experience of leaving home when I was 16 and sleeping in my car while putting myself through school. I intimately understand that many of our systems are not designed to benefit those who are disadvantaged, and that’s what drives me to seek change.
