FIRST-GENERATION AMERICAN

BORN AND RAISED EAST SIDER

Born at Metropolitan Hospital,

Attended P.S. 183 and M.S. 104,

Graduated from Hunter College,

The East Side is in my DNA.

COMMUNITY-BASED LEADER

At the age of 8, my family was homeless on the East Side. Through inclusionary housing, we were able to call District 4 home.

I have lived in this neighborhood my entire life - not as a politician, but as a neighbor who knows what it is like to struggle and fight for a better future.

In 2025, New Yorkers find ourselves at a crossroads:

remain on the hamster wheel of machine politics, or

embrace bold, fresh ideas.

My candidacy is about navigating and transcending political partisanship to arrive at real solutions that put people first.

We need

a new generation of leadership

focused on

experience + innovation + community

I am the youngest candidate in this race and have a 14+ year career that spans city, state, federal, and international government, community affairs, public policy, civic engagement, cultural affairs, business development, youth and education, and healthcare.

My professional experiences include:

  • Leading first-in-the-nation immigration initiatives for the State of New York for nearly a decade

  • Leading strategic initiatives and public engagement at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts
