My objective is to be granted the opportunity to help the city where I grew up and still live with my family. I have a loving husband, supportive family and a son who is the center of my universe. I want to be a leader that can make a change in the world he lives. I want to find ways to come together and work for our residents. I am running for this election to represent those citizens who love this city and be their voice. My 15 years of teaching experience has also allowed me to work with many diverse families in our community and programs in S.T.E.AM. I know my understanding of the community will benefit me in my future role as City Council of Hialeah. These experiences have given me a unique perspective into the challenges and interests shared by these important sectors of our community and economy. I simply want Hialeah to be a great place to work, own a business, and feel safe to live while raising a family. Serving as a city council is a way to thank the community in which I grew-up. I will work to overcome challenges, grab opportunities, and make the future brighter for our community.
  • Improve childcare programs geared to the future by enhancing our parks programs and outdoor spaces. Creating programs focused within science, technology, engineering, art and math to increase interest in a child's future. While hosting parks with athletics.
  • Alleviation of crime and keeping community members safe is critical. We need to ensure public safety against crime and in case of any emergencies. I want to see sustainable long-term solutions that focus with more police officers and fire stations in our neighborhoods.
  • Ensure that our community has better urban planning. Infrastructure decisions can affect our vulnerable residents, such as our water and sewer issues. In addition to creating spaces that are more pedestrian friendly to improve the public health and quality of life.
We need a fresh new political government in Hialeah who has an independent voice and addresses the needs of the citizen. While raising the level of service to our city without raising taxes.
