Summary

Born and raised in Sonoma County, I received my Bachelor of Arts in Political Science with a Minor in Public Policy from U.C. Berkeley. I have continued to used my strengths in civic engagement, policy research, and housing advocacy for the needs of underrepresented communities across California and Hawai'i. With the experiences I have acquired, my hope is to continue exploring new and innovative ways to create new solutions that will further uplift families and individuals across the North Bay.
