I relocated to Albany from nearby Richmond, to move into the UC Village with my family as I pursue my Ph.D at UC Berkeley in Environmental Science, Policy, & Management. My son is often seen at our local parks, full of joy. My daughter is typically up and down Solano with her friends, making memories. A place for diverse lived experiences is what makes Albany special. When I was elected in 2022 as the 1st ever Latino for Albany city council, it gave me great pride knowing voters had confidence in my leadership. I'm committed to practical progressive policies to build a better Albany!

I grew up in Albany and I have lived here my whole life. My entire career has been devoted to local civic service in one way or another, whether through my work in Albany or my day job in affordable housing. It was the honor of my life to be elected to Albany’s City Council in 2020, where I was proud to work with my community to make our City stronger. I am currently the Chair of Albany’s Housing Advisory Commission and President of the Albany Unified School District’s Citizen Bond Oversight Committee. I look forward to continually building a better Albany!
