YOUNG ADULT
ADVOCATE

Young adults are not just the future—they’re the now. I see their passion, their ideas, and the weight they carry in systems that often overlook them. My role is to listen, uplift, and open pathways that lead to power and purpose. From civic engagement to entrepreneurship, I’m building bridges that help them lead boldly. Because when young adults thrive, the city becomes unstoppable.

NEIGHBORHOOD CHAMPION

Neighborhoods are sacred spaces where our lives unfold. From neglected lots to vibrant blocks, I believe in rebuilding trust and pride—street by street. I’ve walked these sidewalks, listened at doorsteps, and stood in the gap where resources are missing. My leadership is rooted in showing up and staying present. Together, we can transform our neighborhoods into places we’re proud to call home.

SMALL BUSINESS
DEFENDER

 

Small businesses are more than storefronts—they're the lifeblood of our local economy. I believe in empowering our entrepreneurs with the tools, visibility, and policies they need to grow. Whether it's a barbershop, a boutique, or a food truck, these businesses tell the story of who we are. My commitment is to champion them at every table where decisions are made. When they succeed, our entire community rises.
