I know what it’s like to need someone to show up for you. At Oak Grove Elementary I ate free lunch every day because my family struggled to make ends meet. My future could have gone many ways, but Medford showed up. Teachers cared. Neighbors checked in. I was one of the first afterschool students at Kids Unlimited where people believed in me before I believed in myself. Today, I lead Kids Unlimited’s educational programs, empowering students through opportunity.

Running for:

• Safe, clean neighborhoods: common-sense policing, backing our Livability Team, and working directly with residents.

• Make Medford affordable: prioritizing homes people can afford, holding down city fees, balancing the budget and supporting local jobs. 

• Fund what you use every day: reliable services, careful spending, hard questions, and respect for everyone. 

• A stronger community: parks and public spaces for every generation.
