I originally come from the Democratic Republic of Congo and met my husband while he was teaching and I was studying theology in my country a little over 15 years ago. I’m a mother of three children, speak six languages, and work at a French school as a tutor and yard-duty. In 2015 I started a home for street kids in Kinshasa, Congo with my non-profit, Les Enfants Baobab. I've been a homeowner in Rohnert Park for 4 1/2 years. My husband is a 14 year Teamster working at United Parcel Service.

Political Philosophy
I believe that representation matters on our City Council. We need people who represent workers, young families, immigrants, and people of color on the Council.
