Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I have a technology background and am currently employed in the public school system. I firmly believe that a solid education is a basic human right. I believe that creating an equitable environment for our student's is critical to the growth of our community and city as a whole.

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?

• Every student deserves an equal chance to succeed in a career of their choosing. Offering supplementary learning can bridge language and opportunity gaps.
• A foundational education begins at home. By serving the parents in our community, we can directly impact the lives of our students.
• Taking care of our children is taking care of Omaha. Providing a learning environment that is equitable to all is essential to creating a healthy Omaha.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Education and Childhood development, Economic Policy, and Environmental Policy.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

My first job was working for an after-school program at the elementary level. I worked there for about 3 years. I was able to work with elementary students and feel truly blessed to have been given the opportunity. I gained the insight to understand that not all student's require the same attention, opportunities, or equipment to succeed.

Do you believe that it's beneficial for holders of this office to have previous experience in government or politics?

I believe it is important for a candidate to have experience in education and/or family services.

What kind of skills or expertise do you believe would be the most helpful for the holders of this office to possess?

The ability to communicate effectively with educators, students, and those who are unfamiliar with what the Learning Community has to offer.
