I was born in Harlem and I am a lifelong resident of East Harlem - El Barrio, the very community I’m running to serve and fight for. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Political Science & Government with a minor in Economics of Management from The City College of New York, where I also studied Accounting, building a strong foundation in public policy, government, and community leadership. I'm fighting for affordable housing, strong schools, working families, safer communities, and real results in East Harlem - El Barrio, Harlem, and the Upper East Side.

 

For more than 15 years, my work across the public and private sectors focused on improving how systems serve people. Today, I serve as a Board Member of the NAACP New York branch, continuing my commitment to civil rights, economic opportunity, and stronger communities.

​

I’ve built my career delivering results across government, labor, and finance:

• Started my career in public service working with the late Congressman Charles B. Rangel

• Worked as a policy analyst for former New York State Assembly Member Keith L. T. Wright, focusing on public housing, social services, and public safety

• Managed contract compliance for major infrastructure projects at the MTA

• Advocated for transit workers’ rights, pensions, and fair treatment for working-class New Yorkers

• Worked in investment consulting for non-profits, supporting retirement and pension planning, and strengthening financial decision-making for hospitals, foundations, and endowments

• Helped families plan for long-term financial security

 

As a Democratic District Leader since 2021, I’ve worked directly with residents to address real challenges:

• Advocating for NYCHA tenants

• Helping families facing housing instability and eviction  

• Hosting financial literacy and community workshops  

• Organizing forums to connect residents with resources  

• Working with city agencies to deliver results for residents

• Supporting efforts to ensure public resources are used effectively for the community

​

I’ve seen firsthand how important it is for government to work efficiently and deliver for the people it serves—and I’ve spent my career helping make that happen.

​

That’s why I’m running—because our community deserves leadership that gets results. 

​

I’ve already been doing that work:

• Advocating for more affordable housing and increased NYCHA funding  

• Working on policies that impact affordability and economic opportunity

• Supporting workers, families, and public schools 

• Advocating for civil rights and equity

• Building partnerships across our communities  

• Supporting environmental justice and healthier neighborhoods

 

I understand how the government works—and where it can work better. And I’m ready to help deliver real results for you. 

 

I’m fighting for a district that is:

• Affordable  

• Safe  

• Economically strong  

 

A district that is safe, inclusive and welcoming for families, women, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and people of all races, cultures, and faiths—because our community is strongest when everyone is respected and included.

 

Let’s build something better—together.
