Liderazgo comunitario

Leadership built through service, collaboration, and follow-through.

Before running for City Council, I spent years working alongside community leaders, educators, business owners, and public servants to strengthen Hillsboro and Washington County. This work wasn’t about visibility. It was about showing up, listening, and helping move initiatives forward that benefit the whole community.

Supporting local entrepreneurs

Ten people stand smiling in front of a wall displaying various sponsor logos, including Amazon, OHSU Health, and Applied Materials. They are casually dressed and standing in a brightly lit indoor setting.

A Pattern of Service

What follows isn’t a résumé. It’s a snapshot of how I’ve chosen to serve.

Strengthening Our Local Economy & Small Businesses

I’ve worked extensively to support small businesses, entrepreneurs, and economic opportunity across our region, with a focus on inclusion, resilience, and long-term growth.

  • Chair, Vice Chair, Chair-elect, and Board Member, Washington County Chamber of Commerce
  • Chair, Small Business Entrepreneurs Council
  • Board Member and Secretary, Oregon Startup Center
  • Business Builder Instructor, PCC Small Business Development Center
  • Member, Washington County Small Business Support Network
  • Member, Chamber Public Policy and Finance Committees

This work has meant advocating for business owners, helping startups grow, and ensuring economic decisions reflect real-world conditions.

I believe communities are stronger when leadership reflects the people it serves. Much of my volunteer work has focused on expanding participation, representation, and opportunity.

  • Founding Member and Chair, Black Advisory Business Council
  • Chair, Chamber Diversity Councils
  • Founder and creator, Washington County Juneteenth Celebration
  • Founder, Black Advisory Business Council Scholarship Fund
These efforts helped increase Black business participation, create community-wide events open to all, and establish scholarships supporting both academic and vocational pathways.
Effective local government depends on informed, engaged leadership. I’ve served in roles that required careful evaluation, collaboration, and accountability.
  • Elected Precinct Committee Person (PCP)
  • Member, Chamber Nominating and Executive Search Committees
  • Evaluator, Washington County RFPQ for Disability, Aging, and Veteran Services
  • Member, Washington County Broadband Action Team and Advisory Committees
These experiences sharpened my understanding of how decisions are made, how resources are allocated, and how public systems can better serve residents.

Investing in the next generation has been a consistent priority in my service.

  • Member, Hillsboro School District 2026 Bond Development Committee
  • Scholarship fund leadership supporting Hillsboro students
  • Leadership Hillsboro graduate
This work reflects my belief that strong schools, workforce pathways, and long-term planning are essential to a thriving city.

Recognition by the Community

I’ve been honored to have this work recognized by local leaders and organizations, including the City of Hillsboro and state and county officials. These acknowledgments reflect shared efforts and collective progress, not individual achievement.

Recognition and public honors are available upon request and will be posted as the campaign continues.

Why This Matters for City Council

City Council work requires listening, coordination, and the ability to balance competing needs while keeping the community’s long-term health front and center. My volunteer service has prepared me for that responsibility.

I’ve worked across sectors. I’ve built consensus. I’ve followed through.

That’s the leadership I bring to City Council.
