I serve on the Burien Business and Economic Development Partnership, the Seattle Southside Chamber of Commerce, and the Burien Creative District. As a consultant, I help non-profit organizations start and operate successfully. I understand how much we need collaboration to tackle the challenges we face in Burien. I will bring professionalism and healthy communication to the City Council.

Once elected, I will work to ensure first responders have the resources they need to do their jobs and expand community policing, ensuring accountability and transparency. I will work to address the needs of people experiencing homelessness and support the creation of substance abuse, mental health treatment centers, and transitional housing. I will work to protect our environment, improve public transportation, and support living wages. I will also work to bring more businesses and jobs to Burien. With your support, we can build a safe, livable, and welcoming Burien for all.

As a councilmember, I have created affordable housing, defended workers rights, improved infrastructure (sidewalks, parks, etc.) and expanded the human services budget for healthcare, education, and assistance programs. I recognize the need to create safer neighborhoods, increase economic growth, and support underserved groups, including youth and seniors.

I remain deeply committed to our community. I currently serve on the board of four local nonprofits, and regional committees focused on environmental sustainability, public transportation, and public safety. I want to use my experience and dedication to move our city forward. Together we can build a brighter future for Burien!
