Originally from the Central Valley of California I now reside in Washington, DC. My federal career began in the House Committe on Energy and Commerce with the U.S. House of Representatives during the 116th and 117th Congresses, I then spent two years helping implement the Infrastructure Investments and Jobs Act as well as the Inflation Reduction Act at the U.S. Department of Energy, focusing on job creation and quality, labor market economics, and engagement with labor unions to build large energy projects around the country.
Beyond my federal experience I've spent time in the residential solar industry and in nonprofit development/leadership cofounding several nonprofits, serving vulnerable children/families and organizing for positive social and economic change. I've always been an advocate for vulnerable populations prioritizing families, children, and workers at the nexus of our economy, energy, and the environment.
I studied the History of Art and Architecture and am happy to be working with you all to focus on the built environment and the industry's potential to be a leading force during these turbulent times.
In my off time I'm also a Breathwork Meditation Facilitator and a High Intensity-Interval Training (HIIT) Coach at F45 and enjoy anything that has to do with art, music, and Latin dancing.
