Although I’m not a DC native, 2024 marked my 14th year in the city, and my 9th year as a Van Ness resident.

This community was my first home in the District – save for Georgetown’s undergrad campus – and even before living here, I often found myself at Sushi Para and Burger King after lessons at the Levine School. The neighborhood’s unique access to nature, city conveniences, and public amenities, like the Metro and our local libraries, quickly charmed me. And before I knew it, I found myself signing a lease (and joining the daily line outside of Bread Furst!)

​

First and foremost, I'm committed – regardless of an official role – to not only conserving this brilliant neighborhood, but also nurturing it so that it continues to flourish and evolve in the future. As an ANC commissioner, I strive to do this by championing our residents’ needs. Whether it be safety concerns, housing needs, or thoughts on thoughtful, practical use of our land, I aim to amplify the local voices impacted by ongoing development, and advocating for our community at large.
