Why I'm Running

I'm running to put the progress back in progressive. We are at a moment that demands generational change, a chance to pass the baton and reignite what our politics can truly achieve. Real leadership means courage, purpose, and refusing to settle for the status quo. This is our moment to shape the future we deserve.

Our Values

Our values are more than policies — they are the principles that guide every decision, action, and effort of everyone in this campaign. From volunteers to staff, every person who contributes to this movement is held to these standards. They shape how we fight for our communities, how we serve the people, and how we ensure government works for everyone, not special interests.

S – Service First

A – Accountability & Transparency

V – Voice for Everyone

E – Empowerment Through Action

Who dares to teach must never cease to learn.
-John Cotton Dana (1856–1929)

About Me

I was born and raised in Washington Heights, where every block tells a story of resilience, hope, and quiet determination. Growing up here meant seeing both the promise of community and the weight of systems that too often hold it back. Those experiences shaped my belief that real change is deliberate, steadfast, and rooted in the people it serves. I have built my career helping small businesses and local organizations grow, and I serve as a teacher in New York City public schools. Every decision I make is focused on serving people first. I measure success by the difference I make for the communities I work with. I am here to replace the system with something rooted in people, powered by purpose, and ready to deliver real results for every New Yorker. Together, we can demand better.
Together, we can build it.
