Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a leader with a proven track record creating change: innovating in tech, running my own small business, and serving the community.

I grew up in a working class African American community with a sister and two loving parents during the tumultuous decades of the ‘80s and ‘90s. As a product of the public school system, I was lucky to discover a love for technology during high school. This focus helped keep me engaged in my studies and prepared me to excel. I earned a Bachelors and Masters in Computer Science at Brown University, where I also cofounded a start-up in remote cardiac rehabilitation before graduation.

I entered the workforce at Microsoft and created continuous innovation, including: starting the Azure IoT Edge product which spearheaded Microsoft’s approach to edge computing, having four of my pending patents granted, working in Microsoft’s Office of the CTO where I advised executive leadership on emerging technologies and company strategy.

I realized my education provided me opportunities to which many other black and brown kids didn’t have access, so I improved this deficit by cofounding the Teacher Scientist Partnership at Technology Access Foundation Academy where I developed and taught computer science curriculum.

My work to improve our community goes well beyond a dedication to digital equity. I serve on the board of the Institute for Democratic Future and previously served on the Public Policy Impact Council at United Way of King County.

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?

All kids deserve a quality education, regardless of where they live. My parents had to camp out overnight to get me into the best public schools. I want every student to have the opportunities my education has provided me.We all deserve to feel safe in our neighborhoods. My experience getting beaten by the police drives me to increase accountability of those who serve, while also partnering with them to fight crime. We need to think more comprehensively about public safety as more than just police officers. We ask them to do too much, and they are not the answers to every issue.Too many people are struggling to make ends meet, and the pandemic has only made this worse. As a professional soccer referee, I stood with our union to win fair compensation by using a work stoppage. I understand the value in the labor movement and support improved compensation, conditions, and benefits for all working people.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Washington's 37th legislative district is historic and deserves effective representation. I want to use this office to create equitable policy, amplify the voices of working people, and build power within our community.
