Not a Politician.
A Neighbor.

"I grew up on these streets, attended these schools, and built my life in this community. My journey wasn't paved with privilege, but with the hard work and resilience that defines our city."

As an urban planner and community organizer for over 15 years, I've seen firsthand how thoughtful policy can transform lives. I'm running to bring that expertise to City Hall—to build a city that works for everyone, not just the few.
