I am a wife, mother & an entrepreneur, has been a proven leader of the community. I have been an avid advocate for school choice and making sure every child is provided quality education regardless of their zip code or families economic status. I have been a fighter for small businesses since the devastation of Covid19 in March of 2020 forced so many of them out of business or out of our beautiful county and state. I am an advocate for small and transparent government, lower taxes, quality education in our schools, addressing homelessness effectively, and putting Californian’s needs ahead of corporate and special interest groups. I was born and raised in Iran until 14 years old when I immigrated to the US with my parents. As the only child of immigrant parents I understand first hand the struggles and challenges of the minority communities of District 73. I plan to represent not only the Iranian community in Sacramento but but all the constituents in the district regardless of race or background.
  • Not a career politician
  • Passionate about changing our public education for the better
  • Advocate for lower taxes
School related legislation is one of my top passions alongside policy that effects our day to day lives by taxing us too much.
As of recently due to the Fentanyl epidemic all legislation bills related to harsher penalties for those who deal Fentanyl is becoming a top priority too.
