I am the founder and CEO of South Sound Strategies, a consulting firm focused on creating and implementing a bold vision for equity in the region that advances race equity by centering and learning with the community, examining power and inclusive DEI, policy and advocacy practices.
I am also an Adjunct Professor at Western Washington University’s Woodring School of Education’s Future Bilingual Teacher Fellows (FBTF) Alternative Routes to Certification program where I teach a course on Education, Culture, and Equity.
- The three issues impacting my constituents, and my top three campaign priorities are: Affordability: families up and down the I-5 corridor are being pushed out as they can no longer afford to live in the communities they have built. In Olympia, I will fight for the resources my constituents need – affordable housing, access to healthcare, investments in public schools, and family-wage career paths. I will also work to rebalance our regressive tax code so that wealth in our state cannot continue to accumulate in the hands of the few.
- Equitable investments in schools: I will work to ensure that students in our state have access to high-quality education and opportunities by reorganizing and expanding our investments in public schools with an eye toward equity.
- Family wage career paths: I will bolster funding for and access to apprenticeship, training, and educational opportunities so more young people can have access to union jobs in our communities.
