Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am running for Colorado's House District 1 to fight for hard-working families like mine. My mother raised my brother Thomas and I on her own, and her only source of income was her social security disability check. My family knows what it means to struggle, to rely on food banks, and eventually face homelessness.

I dropped out of high school after my family dealt with housing instability and homelessness. I went back to school to become an advocate for families like mine. I worked my way through community college washing dishes and delivering pizzas before going to Berkeley Law School to pursue a career representing tenants facing eviction. After law school, I helped found a non-profit focused on keeping Coloradans in their homes. Since 2020 our organization has represented thousands of Coloradans facing eviction and successfully advocated for significant policy changes to help renters in Colorado. I now works as an eviction defense attorney and community organizer. I am running for the statehouse to continue my advocacy for low-income and working families. If elected to represent House District 1, I will fight for economic justice, affordable housing, racial justice, and universal health care.

I delivered phone books with my mom in 2005 when I was 15, we did this for about a month and we received $.25 for each phone book that we delivered. I then worked as a dish washer for about a year at the hospital before going on to work as a cook in a pizza restaurant.
