Doing the important work! Join us Saturday October 22nd, 9am at Rich Dauer Park.
About 2 years ago a group of Colton residents and I came together to talk about issues impacting Colton, we talked and took immediate action. We joined council meetings, planning commission meetings, we hosted informational hikes in the La Loma Hills area to spread the word about Colton's history and how industry is impacting us, we hosted clean up efforts off of the Santa Ana River Trail, and now we are leading community meetings. is a community lead group of residents and we invite you to join us October 22nd 9am at Rich Dauer Park where we will discuss the current warehouse moratorium, the Ecology Center, and the high speed rail.

Proud to be endorsed by , thank you for the support!
On Friday, October 14th, 2022 Amazon workers staged a walkout in response to Amazon neglecting employee demands for livable wages, safe and healthy working conditions. Additionally, Inland Empire Amazon Workers United allege anti-union and retaliatory actions. Amazon workers spread the word and asked for community to stand with them in their fight. I joined in solidarity with labor organizations and other community members and it was great to see the community come together to support each other; a beautiful array of generations. It’s critical that Colton's elected engage with community to understand their needs and unite to hold Amazon to their promises of bringing quality jobs and economic stability to our cities. Thankfully this election will give us the chance to change who represents the community. Be sure to VOTE on or before November 8th! A vote for me is a vote for the community!

Colton is in need of change and I am ready to Lead.
I am confident that my experience having served on multiple boards including the San Bernardino County Municipal Advisory Committee (District 5), being a part of the City of Colton Planning Commission, taking part in the local chambers of commerce and the Inland Empire Section American Planning Association as well as obtaining my Bachelor of Arts in Public Policy from the University of California Riverside with a focus in Urban/Environmental Policy and family/Social/Cultural Policy will allow me to lead Colton in a positive direction.
