I'm running for re-election to City Council to continue the momentum I've built up. I've championed climate action, consistently supported affordable housing, and advocated for community priorities such as housing, transportation, and child care.
I'm in my fourth year on City Council, and have accomplished much in my time so far. Previously, I worked as a technical writer in the software industry and specialized in agile development and localization (the technical aspects of translation of software). I bring my high-tech background and writing expertise to my City Council work.
