Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a mom that has called the Phoenix valley home for the last 13 years. I have built a career in software, with a focus for online fraud and payments — I basically keep your money safe online. I am focusing my campaign on creating a better life for all Arizonans, and want to see a government that is truly of the people, by the people, and for the people.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Hardworking Americans need a government that works for them, not against them. It's time to invest in the American public, with things like Universal Health Care and Paid Parental Leave.Mental Health Care is a critically overlooked part of our Health Care system. We need to increase the number of providers and enable better access to care.Literacy and reading comprehension are critical skills needed to bring us together as a community and to move us forward as a country.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Women's and Children's Rights, Mental Health Care, and Literacy and Education

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

The documentary film A Place at the Table perfectly represents who I want to fight for, and why we need change in the US.

What is your favorite book? Why?

The House on Mango Street, by Sandra Cisneros. It was the first time I found media that represented someone like me.

What are your thoughts on term limits?

Term limits should be set for members of government so that we have people that are in office that represent their constituents, and bring in fresh new ideas.
