- I’m a CPA with over a decade of experience.
- I’m an LA County Economy & Efficiency Commissioner, focused on solutions that make our government work better for our local economy.
- I am a Small Business Owner and Environment, Social, Governance policy consultant, helping corporations increase value for all stakeholders.
I was born in Willowbrook, an unincorporated community in the district, to a single mother and grandmother, neither of whom had a college education at the time. Education was our hope for economic mobility.
Now, I’m a member of the West Athens Westmont Task Force, Board Member of America’s Charities, and an elected delegate of the CA Democratic Party. I live with my husband and 4-year-old daughter in unincorporated Westmont. Together, we stay grounded in our faith as active members of Revelation Church in Compton.- Building a Thriving Economy for All.

To quickly meet the demand, state agencies should enhance efficiency for statewide affordable housing development, local jurisdictions should contribute their fair share of affordable housing across the state and every
- Everyone should be able to live, work, and play in neighborhoods where it is safe to breathe. I have lived experience with environmental racism, born in the Ujima Village community in Willowbrook, which has a long history of environmental contamination with a lack of financial accountability for the polluter and displacement of families, most of which were Black. To create a sustainable environment, we need greater accountability for pollution, and we must invest in renewable energy, carbon recapture, urban greening, and equitable electrification, create policies that incentivize changed behavior without penalizing frontline communities, and transition to a just, green economy that builds bridges between workers and businesses in a way that
