Proudly Serving Our Community

I am deeply honored to represent Census District 4610. My roots in Altadena run deep, as I was raised here and have been actively involved in our community all my life. I am the granddaughter of a Tuskegee Flight Officer, and daughter of a teacher who dedicated over 25 years at Franklin Elementary School in Altadena, where I spent countless years assisting teachers and participating in the PTA. I am a Pennsylvania State University alumna.

My educational journey began in PUSD, where I was privileged to participate in Girls State, served as class president, undefeated in track & field and represented the school district in school leadership and sports conferences. Now, my own children attend school in Altadena, where I serve as PTA Secretary and AAPC Co-Chair.

My passion for education is the driving force behind my community involvement. My introduction to the Altadena Town Council came through Council Member Nic Arnzen and his internship initiative. For years, we have successfully hosted high school students from PHS’ Law and Public Service Academy, providing them with valuable experience in civic engagement. We recently expanded this program to a year-round opportunity, which included hosting 12 Altadena-area students every Friday at the Community Center, introducing them to civic services.

Through continued support from the Altadena Sheriffs, Fire Department, Altadena Library District, Altadena Chamber of Commerce, Altadena Senior Center, Altadena Notary, Altadena Historical Society, as well as generous local businesses and residents, we were able to present guided tours, lead round table talks, and community engagement activities. Additionally, Muir High School students had the opportunity to support the establishment of the Altadena Town Council’s new Legislative Committee and assist with the 5th District County Supervisor Candidate election forums in partnership with Neighbors Building a Better Altadena and the League of Women Voters, to name a few. I have also participated in PUSD High School resume and interview workshops.

Looking ahead, I have ambitious plans to chair the Education Committee, where I aim to highlight the achievements of our amazing Altadena schools and help them secure necessary resources to succeed. I am also dedicated to further developing our student internship program, ensuring each committee has an intern, making information accessible to our residents in both English and Spanish, supporting residents seeking to organize neighborhood groups, educating residents about the Public Works app and updating our online presence through our website and social media.

I am excited about the opportunity to serve on the Altadena Town Council and to continue contributing to the vibrant community that has shaped me.
