I am a child of South San Francisco. When my parents migrated to the United States they decided to settle in this city. I have grown up in this city and believe we cannot
move forward unless we take lessons from the past into account for the future and not completely forget it. My hope is assist South City into the future while blending the
aesthetics of historic South City with that of what is to come. My love for this city will be beneficial to this board.
*
Being a lifelong resident and wanting to stay here in the city I am invested whole heartedly and would like to continue to make this city an inclusive place to live.
*
My vision for the future SSF would be one that is easily connected by public transportation. It would retain craftsman buildings but have the downtown area be more of a hub.
The waterways would be utilized more for recreation and our trails would be safe. We would have more city wide events and utilize our waterfront more. I would love to
have more small businesses in the area all while maintaining the affordability for low & middle class families. It would be an inclusive place no mater age.

passionate about environmental justice, and creating beautiful, safe, and resilient communities. I feel I can contribute a great deal to this commission. I would bring with me
a strong sense of curiosity, innovative ideas, and strategic thinking, as well as a lot of relevant knowledge and experience (details in next section).
*
I have been an enrichment educator for over ten years, and I have run many successful programs and events over the years, including community performances, youth clubs,
and large-scale donation drives. So I have insight into what works and what doesn’t when it comes to both childcare and recreational programs. My early career in marketing
strategy and communications also continues to be an asset both personally and professionally. I view everything I do through a big-picture, strategic lens, which tends to
result in better outcomes and lower costs. In recent years, I’ve done a lot of volunteer work on climate and the environment. I began by working with a number of global-
scale organizations, helping them manage volunteers and expand their programs. More recently, I have turned my attention to local efforts, including a restoration project on
the hillside behind my home, which has given me a lot of knowledge of invasive plant species and local ecosystems.
*
One major goal I have for our city is to forge more connections between our neighborhoods. SSF is an incredible place with enormous potential. I'm regularly excited to
discover an awesome restaurant, a tucked-away park, a fascinating landmark, or some other hidden gem. But our diverse communities are siloed and hard to explore.
Transforming ourselves into a walkable, interconnected city will drive more business to local shops and improve the quality of life for everyone who lives and works here.
