Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I have been born and raised in Sacramento and have come to care deeply about the direction in which this area is going. The Los Rios Community College District is vital, whether it is providing instruction for those intending to enter the trades or another field directly after attending the District, or preparing students for further education at four-year universities. Both myself and my father attended American River College before transferring to the California State University, Sacramento. My father may not have been able to secure a college education without the affordability and flexibility provided by the Los Rios Community College District, and that education allowed him to begin a successful career in accounting and have a house and family. I myself value my time as a student at ARC, particularly the varied subject matter and professors whom I came to respect and learn from. Due to my own experiences, I am committed to ensuring that the Los Rios Community College District remains a pathway to affordable and high quality education, as well as a robust center of learning and debate.

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?

• My first priority will be maintaining access to affordable and quality education opportunities in a variety of fields.
• Freedom of speech is necessary for learning and debate, and must be protected above all.
• Campus safety is a necessary measure, and must be sustained so long as it does not violate citizens' rights and liberties.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am strongly drawn toward the serious free speech issues presented by policies regarding speech regulations and compelled speech. This has become an issue particularly on campuses of higher education, and requires a strong response in favor of upholding the tradition of freedom of speech based on interpretation of the First Amendment. Societies that censor certain forms of speech and compel others do not foster the robust debate necessary for true learning.
