I’m running for City Council because Rancho Palos Verdes needs a fresh approach.

I’m not a career politician, nor am I looking to build a long-term political career. I’m a resident, neighbor, business owner, and community leader who sees the challenges facing our city and believes we cannot solve them by simply maintaining the status quo.

I’m ready to bring a data-driven, solutions-oriented approach to City Hall and help RPV move forward with purpose.

“My goals and why I am running is to unite RPV neighbors and the entire peninsula to work together and address current major issues with the land slide, crime, budget and housing element and restore our original goals that our city was founded.”
