I have been a volunteer Crisis Responder under the Mayor’s Crisis Response Team for the past seven years. I have responded to 911 incidents throughout Los Angeles to assist public safety personnel by giving resources and support to survivors of critical incidents and many that involve death. Being a part of this program allowed me to continue providing help to people throughout the Los Angeles communities in their darkest hours; it also amplified my need to do more for communities and people in need. I am also a volunteer board member on the Westlake North Neighborhood Council in District 1. I began as a sitting board member in 2019, but within a few months, I moved into the role of Treasurer. I advanced my knowledge in managing, spending, and budgeting my Neighborhood Councils funds with the Los Angeles City Clerk’s budget. My responsibility was to manage our NC’s funds and stay on track with our spending efforts and operations costs. I was diligent in ensuring that we stayed on a healthy conservative budget to support all of the community nonprofits in need of financial resources. In 2020, I was nominated and accepted the role of President for the WNNC. In this role, my vision has been to work as a team and build relationships throughout District 1 and bridge the gaps between nonprofits, public service agencies, public service officials, government agencies, and the community to help people in immediate need.
I value education and trade preparation. I am a huge advocate and supporter of all continuing education programs at any age, particularly for the youth. Through trade training in my teenage years, I overcame some of the most challenging hardships in life and was able to help provide for my family. I entered the workforce early and experienced life as a college student in my adult years. Through those experiences, I learned firsthand how robust trade and education are and how valuable they are for future success and prosperity. I will dedicate my priorities to expanding vocational training and the best educational opportunities for the youth in high school and working adults to help secure tools for their best future in the workforce.
