My journey has been one of perseverance, innovation, and service to the community. As a first-generation immigrant from a working class family, I understand firsthand the challenges many New Yorkers face. Since the age of 16, I have been deeply involved in my family’s nonprofit, which provides opportunities for low-income youth to explore art and cultural diversity. Through this work, I saw how access to the right resources can transform lives and strengthen communities.

For the past four years, I have been actively engaged in local politics, elections, and policymaking, gaining firsthand experience in how government operates—and where it fails to deliver for the people. I have also worked to empower the next generation, regularly hosting mentorship meetings with high school and college students, teaching financial literacy, leadership, and problem-solving skills that schools often overlook.

Currently, I am earning my degree in Operations Management and Political Science at CUNY Baruch, where I have developed innovative solutions to complex problems, applying my expertise to budget allocation, efficiency, and governance. My academic excellence, with a 3.9 GPA and admission to Boston University for a Master of Science, reflects my drive to constantly improve and implement real-world solutions. Though I have received job offers from major firms, I know that right now, my energy, passion, and skills are needed most in public service.

Unlike career politicians who rely on popular slogans and empty promises, I am action-oriented. I am running for NYC Council to bring real accountability, smarter budgeting, and policies that make every dollar work for the people—whether in education, public safety, transportation, or small business growth. My vision is to make District 47 a model of innovation and community-driven solutions, proving that when leaders put people over politics, real progress happens.
