What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am running for Riverside City Council because I want to be a part of making Riverside Even Better.

As an educator, I am committed to collaborative leadership that improves the quality of life in our community. I am proud to have grown up here, attending Riverside schools and developing a deep commitment to the city.

I want to build on our City’s great history and success by leveraging partnerships with our schools to develop the workforce we need in the future, ensure our first responders have the resources they need to protect our community, enhance economic development and increase job opportunities for our residents, maintain our quality of life, and ensure our tax dollars are responsibly invested in our highest priorities.
