I hope to collaborate with public and private organizations to implement effective change.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Education

I support the rights of parents to choose the best educational path for their children and will look for opportunities to expand school choice, while working to improve our public schools.

I want to ensure every deserving student ease of access to an IEP.

Mental Health

The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated adverse mental health in California. I will work with federal, state, and local government and non-profits to ensure every resident of the district access to appropriate and timely mental health care.

Aging Community

The elderly in our community deserve respect and dignity throughout their lives.

Veterans

Assembly District 11 is the proud home to over 33,000 veterans. Those who committed to serve our country deserve full access to quality healthcare, gainful employment, appropriate education, and affordable housing.

Public Safety

Cities across California experienced an increase in crime. My goal is to work in collaboration with community leaders and the police department to ensure justice for victims and accountability in policing.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

When I was 16 I worked at Kentucky Fried Chicken in Davis, CA, until I joined the US Army at 17. During my KFC experience I learned customer service and the value of hard work. The lunch and dinner rushes require teamwork, communication, and efficiency that I had only previously experienced while playing sports. Those values were an asset that better prepared me for time in the military.
