1.Please describe any life, work, and/or significant community volunteer experiences that prepared you to contribute tothe work of the CommissionFor more than ten years, I have participated on various community advisory boards, non-profit boards of directors, and communitysafety boards, all dedicated to supporting local law enforcement and policing initiatives. Throughout these experiences, my priorityhas consistently been to harmonize community requirements with the perspectives of those frequently unheard, while alsoadvocating for equitable and financially responsible decisions. I have come to appreciate the importance of diverse viewpoints andhave utilized a data-driven methodology for navigating challenging decisions, always ensuring alignment with the principles ofhealing, justice, and accountability. I have experience actively serving on the following boards: Oakland Police Commission, Oakland,CA: I currently serve as the Chair of the OPC, unanimous voted by my fellow Commissioners in January 2025 and 2026. During mytenure, I have navigated complex issues (i.e. pursuit policy, budget crisis, and OPC member transitions) and have led theCommission in reestablishing itself as a functional, curious, professional and active body. UCSF Police Department, Oakland Children’sHospital Community Safety Board: As one of two community representatives, my primary objective is to improve the dialoguebetween the Police Department and the UCSF community. Together, we engage in collaborative efforts concerning safety andsecurity, fostering a shared learning environment. We support officers and UCSF community members in engaging and learningcollaboratively, employing an inclusive and tiered response model for safety services. This model is grounded in transparency,continuous data-driven improvement, accountability, and independent oversight. (2022–Present) Us4Us, San Francisco: I am acurrent board member for a small community-based organization located in San Francisco. My main duties included helping todevelop the organization’s policies and procedures, along with supervising hiring procedures and fundraising initiatives. Additionally, Iparticipate in a committee responsible for organizing community events aimed at fostering transparent communication andengagement. I also collaborate with the San Francisco Juvenile Probation Department to investigate community-based solutions,such as diversion programs, restorative justice practices, and the application of credible messenger strategies for youth in SecureTrack detention. (2021–Present).2.Please provide your perspectives of Public Safety in the City of Oakland.In my career as a leader in Public Safety in Oakland, it has been great to see the progress we have made as a city through privateand public partnerships, the passing of measure NN, and the overall support and trust that has been built with the Oakland PoliceDepartment. In 2016, I was privileged to serve as the City of Oakland's inaugural Violence Prevention Liaison, facilitatingcommunication between community-based organizations, the Mayor's Office, and the Oakland Police Department. During my tenureas the Violence Prevention Liaison for the City of Oakland, I served in a critical role coordinating between Oakland Unite, now knownas the Department of Violence Prevention (DVP), and the Oakland Police Department (OPD). My responsibilities included contributingto the development of comprehensive communication structures and participating in "call-ins," a critical component of Ceasefire’stargeted enforcement strategy. These call-ins were directly aimed at individuals at the highest risk of involvement in gun violence,and still continue to this day. Additionally, I collaborated directly with OPD to offer essential support to shooting victims requiringemergency relocation services. Working alongside OPD, the District Attorney's Victim Services Unit, and the City of Oakland HumanServices Division, I aided in the development of criteria and a meticulous vetting process for the City's pioneering TemporaryEmergency Relocation pilot program. This initiative, spearheaded by community-based providers, was designed to swiftly providesupport and relocation options to those affected by violence. The success of this pilot program led to its adoption as a coreviolence prevention strategy, ensuring its ongoing funding by the DVP. Moreover, I have facilitated dialogue and aligned effortsbetween community-based service providers and law enforcement to ensure the seamless coordination, aimed at maximizing theaccessibility of vital services for the community. I also have conducted comprehensive training sessions for OPD's Investigative Unitson procedural justice and implicit bias, focusing on interactions with families affected by homicides. These sessions promoted a moreempathetic approach and emphasized fair and equitable treatment. Furthermore, I supported OPD in developing best practices forengaging with families and the community at the scenes of shootings or homicides. By establishing effective communicationchannels, our objective was to bridge the gap between law enforcement and the community, ensuring a more compassionateresponse during times of crisis. Simultaneously, I provided training sessions for grantees on professional standards and effectivecommunication practices when collaborating with OPD. I am honored to see many of these emerging (at the time) and best practicestrategies continue to drive the success of Oakland's Public Safety approach. Although these efforts are very important, they arenot in the purview of what the OPC's mission is, and the public/community often confuse the role of OPC with the responsibilities ofthe public safety committee's role of City Council and various tasks OPD is charged of addressing regarding crime reduction andpublic safety.
3.How do you believe you can contribute to advancing the Police Commission’s mission, vision, and goals of ensuring fairand transparent police accountability?I am a dynamic and visionary leader with over 20 years of transformative impact in community violence prevention across the SanFrancisco Bay Area. I have dedicated my career to driving systemic change through strategic advising, cross-sector coalitionbuilding, and culturally rooted healing frameworks. As a trusted subject matter expert in community safety, outreach innovation, andcivilian oversight of law enforcement policies and practices, I have led the OPC for over a year as Chair, and have engaged our CityStakeholders in continued dialog, aligning the work of OPC with the greater strategic goals of the City. I am a tireless leader andhave dedicated over 15 hours a week to advancing OPC's goals in establishing constitutional policing for the City of Oakland. In mycapacity as Chair of the OPC, I preside over all Commission meetings and undertake all necessary responsibilities inherent to thisrole. Currently, I serve as the OPC’s representative in meetings and communications with public officials, the media, and the public.In addition to these matters, my recurring duties as Chair between Commission meetings include regular consultations with the CPRADirector, Inspector General, Chief of Police, OCA, and our Chief of Staff and General Counsel. I am also responsible for establishingregular meeting agendas and prioritizing future discussion items. Furthermore, I attend IAB and IMT meetings with the FederalMonitor when feasible, and attend bi-weekly NSA Core Group meetings with the City Administrator, City Attorney, Chief of Police,and the Mayor's office, to ensure alignment and meeting collaborative goals for NSA compliance. I have represented the OPC at thelast two Case Management Conferences with the Federal Judge overseeing the NSA and am currently co-leading the process forselecting the next Chief of Police. My work ethic, love for the city, and balanced approach as the sitting Chair, make me uniquelyqualified to continue to serve on the Oakland Police Commission.
