Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a grassroots, progressive candidate looking to make some much needed changes to the community colleges we have her in Los Ángeles. I attended Vally College. Two of my kids attend Pierce. I currently teach at CSUN and have for over a decade. I am passionate about education and supporting our students. I also want to create more equity for the part time lecturers at our CCs. There is so much more we could do to connect with the community, create opportunities for our students and enrich our communities. I want to make a difference.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• Expand our CC trade programs by connecting with local businesses and developing apprenticeship programs all over LA. I want to expand the current trade programs to make them more accessible for students and connect them with local businesses so they head right into a good job where they will continue to learn and develop their trade.
• Support the part time faculty with better benefits, pay and working conditions. I am also part time faculty so I understand how this works and what the needs are for those of us who aren’t full time. At the CCs part time faculty make up 80% of the teaching workforce and are essential to the acc experience. They need better benefits, working conditions and pay. I will make that happen.
• Homelessness is a huge problem! We can help students and faculty who are facing this terrifying situation. We can provide safe places for those who are forced to sleep in their cars. We can provide safe and clean places to shower and take care of basic needs. We can have food pantries so they can have access to healthy food and essentials. We can do better and more for our CC community, students and faculty!

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am passionate about worker rights, affordable health care as a basic human right, and free public education. I am pro union and pro choice. I am a free speech advocate and firmly anti-war and anti- censorship. The answer to bad speech is MORE speech!!
