Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am the child of immigrant refugee parents, and my mother brought me to Glendora in search of a better life. I attended Glendora schools and have since raised my own children in the community I love. With 19 years of experience as a top-producing title sales manager at Fidelity National Title, I have developed a sharp eye for the bigger picture and what benefits our community. I also graduated with honors from Azusa Pacific University, further strengthening my commitment to personal growth and service.

I look up to my mom more than anyone. She came to this country as a refugee from Vietnam, not speaking a word of English, and worked tirelessly to give our family a better life. Despite the challenges, she managed to purchase properties and became the hardest working woman I know.

Her perseverance and strength continue to inspire me every day.
