Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a passionate and civic individual that always puts myself on the front lines. I was first called to service after 9/11 and went on to serve in the US Army. Here I served as a combat medic over multiple deployments to Afghanistan. I left service for higher education and attended UC Santa Barbra for a bachelor's in chemistry and California State University Northridge for a master's in public administration. I've spent a decade working on several research problems from oil seeps, hydrogen fuel cell, and wetland restoration. Occasionally, I've been called to civic life in various pursuits such as working as a field organizer on the presidential campaign, winning a prestigious fellowship to build a nonprofit, and going to St. Croix to help with hurricane recovery work after St. Croix. All my actions have been guided by trying to do what is moral and just to lessen suffering and poverty and increase mental health. When elected to Congress, I will work to heal the nation and district through the fallout of COVID and decades of economic stagnation for the working class.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am most passionate about building a holistic policy, which means understanding the whole depth of people. As a social being, an economic being, a spiritual being, and a monetary one. As such, I believe it has to start with healthcare as it provides a base playing field for all people then we help solve for psychical safety and health. Furthermore, by removing the cost from employees and employers, we promote more capital to be revenant in wages and business growth. Lastly, helping people with healthcare is also an education campaign that will help people become more aware of common causes of death such as cardiac and obesity., help get early cancer screening done. Healthcare is a moral choice. It is the fiscally rational choice.
