After graduating with honors from UCI, I earned a master’s at UCR. In 10 years of employment at UCI, I’ve developed skills that translate to public service through writing grants, planning events for over 1,000 attendees, evaluating competitive bids, and budgeting over 9 million dollars in funding. Outside of work, I have rented in Irvine for most of the past decade (currently in WestPark) and am a lifelong public transit user.
