I am a proud Oregonian born and raised. I show up for my community as an organizer for social justice in my fight for social change in my city and state. While I am young I worked as a staffer in the legislature, was a nonprofit consultant, and was appointed by the governor to serve on a state council as a public servant for the people. Because of this, I use both my knowledge as a young community leader and my background in public policy to be a public advocate when it comes to issues affecting youth, especially students in education because I believe empowerment changes lives. I work to radical reimagine our current world with systemic issues and ask you to join me in creating one that democratically serves and prioritizes people and the planet
  • I have served my community as a community organizer, staffer in the legislature, public servant in the office of the governor, consultant to a nonprofit which works to expand access to public budgets for all Oregonians. It has been an honor to serve my community through public service and I will continue this work as a member of the Multnomah Education Service District.
  • Students and young people are and must be treated as stakeholders in their own public education. I believe that expanding who has a seat at the table makes for better governance and a more representational society. I am running to be the youngest person to have been elected to the Multnomah Education Service District and as a student to be a stakeholder in our education and bring a new perspective that has historically been left out of public education.

My favorite book so far is The Care Manifesto: The Politics of Interdependence. This is a book I could and do reread constantly. I love this book because it focuses on the importance and need of care and how it shows up in the world and how in some ways due to systemic policies we have policies that do not care for the people and the plant.
