About Me

Growing up, my mother was a pediatric nurse who also worked service jobs to pay our rent. Meanwhile, my dad worked a full time job while putting himself through school to be the first in our family to graduate with a college degree. Through constant determination, they were able to provide a good life for me, but they are the last generation that have even been offered that chance.

 

At times when I was working three jobs and could barely afford rent, I had unpredictable hours, below poverty wages, and no health benefits. Growing up in a "right-to-work" state, my parents and I never had workers' rights or a union. We've seen countless presidential administrations attack workers' rights and the ability to make a living wage.​

Over the last several decades, costs have continued to rise, while wages have remained flat or below cost of living increases. ​I know we can lift up our communities and provide real, tangible results for everyday people who are sick and tired of our broken political system. ​​Let's turn the page together to a future led by us, not the wealthy elite.
