When I moved to Altadena five years ago, I knew that I had found home. What makes Altadena special is the real, everyday community we saw on full display during the Eaton Fire, where neighbors became first responders with hoses in hand to put out flames. Now, nearly a year later, those same neighbors are working tirelessly to support each other through mutual aid efforts.

      I am running to fight for that spirit and to build an Altadena that doesn’t just survive, but thrives. An Altadena that is more resilient, equitable, and connected for all of us. 

      My professional experience in public health and wildfire recovery have given me the exact skills needed to deliver tangible results for you. I’ve helped neighbors navigate complex applications and connect them with vital resources— from disaster aid and rebuilding assistance, to free clinics and soil testing. I’ve helped people secure thousands of dollars in critical aid, and I’m ready to use these same skills to help our entire community navigate a stronger, faster recovery.

      My experience has given me a unique toolkit for this role. I have a  practical understanding  of rebuilding from my work as a project coordinator in architecture, the critical thinking skills needed to find effective solutions from my background in research, and the commitment to bring us together through my experience coordinating community events. I'm ready to bring this hands-on experience and a fresh perspective to the council.

      At the end of the day, I am a tenacious advocate and a neighbor who loves Altadena. This election is about our voice and our community.

And I want to fight for us.
