- With over a decade of experience advising leaders on parks and trails, I’ve been deeply involved in shaping policies that protect and improve our public lands.
- My work with organizations like the East Bay Regional Park District Park Advisory Committee and the Bay Area Ridge Trail Council has given me the expertise needed to tackle the challenges our parks face.
- But my passion goes beyond policy—I'm an avid trail runner who enjoys these parks every day. I know how essential they are to our community, and I’m committed to keeping them accessible, sustainable, and thriving.
