Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I'm a first generation immigrant who came to San Francisco at the age of thirteen, arriving in the city with my single mother and brother. I learned how to navigate a new city while learning a new language. I have served our City at every level and understand how policy goals at the top are implemented into operational actions for San Francisco residents. A lifelong public servant, I have committed my career to giving back to our City. Over the past fifteen years, I served in leadership positions at San Francisco Recreation & Parks and City College of San Francisco, overseeing millions of dollars in capital improvement projects and park bonds projects, and also oversaw the implementation of Free City College.

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?

• To recover from COVID-19, we must expand wage-worker protections, ensure our workers are paid a living wage, and have a voice to fight for safer working conditions.
• We also need to prioritize helping small businesses recover and revise our small business tax code to hold corporate and chain businesses to equal standards as our local merchants.
• To weather the coming recession we need to expand protections for tenants and look to mortgage relief and assistance to keep people housed.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

1. Affordability & Livability: Strengthen tenant protections, including fully funding free legal counsel. Preserve and build 100% affordable housing, expand our small sites acquisition program, support first-time home buyers. Invest in public transit so that it is more affordable, cleaner and more reliable.

2. Economy and Labor: Help small businesses by streamlining the permit process, providing dedicated assistance to accessing state and federal help, and reforming our tax code to ask large corporations to pay their fair share and ease the burden on our small businesses. Strengthen protections for our workers, including fair wages and safer working conditions.

3. Accountability: Lead reforms for greater transparency and spending accountability City Hall and across departments so San Franciscans can have confidence their government is working for them - not corporate interests.
