I will fast-track funds for essential services that positively impact the neighborhood without delay.
I will Fight for deeply affordable housing units (AMI at or below 40%) so long-term residents can afford to stay in the district.
Together we'll create safe, welcoming spaces like 24-hour wellness centers and revitalize beloved traditions such as Old Timers Day.
I will partner with local organizations to train and deploy mental health workers for faster, safer and more accessible support.
My journey took me from a one-bedroom in NYCHA housing to earning multiple degrees from the City University of New York. Now, I’m a Brooklyn political leader driven by a simple belief: every person, no matter where they start, deserves a fair shot at success.
I’m running for New York City Council District 41 because more than 140,000 residents deserve an authentic leader who recognizes every neighborhood's need and will deliver real funding, policies, and resources.
