My top three priorities for District 3 are safe and clean neighborhoods, jobs and business development, and youth empowerment.

Every resident deserves to feel secure and proud of where they live. I will push for responsive public safety, cleaner streets, effective code enforcement, and well-maintained community spaces throughout District 3. Our neighborhoods should reflect the pride and dignity of the people who call them home.

Compton's future depends on growing local businesses and attracting responsible investment that reaches every corridor not just select zip codes. I've built a successful, mission-driven business rooted right here in Compton. I know what it takes, and I know what our entrepreneurs need to thrive.

Finally, Compton's young people are its next generation of leaders. Through the Compton Cowboys and Compton Junior Equestrians, I've spent my life building pathways for youth providing mentorship, discipline, and real opportunity.

On the council, I will work to expand these kinds of programs citywide so every young person in District 3 has a chance to succeed.
I was born and raised in the Richland Farms neighborhood of Compton and I never left. That lifelong commitment to this community is the foundation of everything I bring to this race.

As Founder and CEO of the Compton Cowboys, I built a globally recognized, multimillion-dollar brand that has partnered with companies like Guinness and Beyoncé's IVY PARK all rooted in Compton's identity and culture.

As Executive Director of the Compton Junior Equestrians, I lead a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that keeps at-risk youth engaged in programs that build confidence, discipline, and opportunity through horsemanship.

I hold a Master's degree in Music Industry Administration from CSUN and a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from Occidental College. I've applied that education to build a scalable model where community mission and economic sustainability go hand in hand.

I've also been a community activist and organizer — leading the Compton Cowboys' Black Lives Matter peace rides and consistently using my platform to advocate for safer, more equitable neighborhoods. I understand both the corporate boardroom and the neighborhood block. I've built bridges between institutions and communities, and I've done it all with Compton's name on my chest.
