My day-to-day work is focused on the delivery of water to ratepayers for residential, commercial, and agricultural purposes. In my role, I work with public water providers across California, state regulatory agencies, and the
Legislature to develop policies that allow water agencies to deliver water that is safe and affordable. It is important to me that my own community has utility rates that allow the city to provide reliable service while remaining affordable to residents. I also have extensive experience advocating in front of public legislative and regulatory bodies and believe that public engagement is important and should be taken seriously.

I have worked for the Association of California Water

In my role as a policy advocate, I have developed expertise in utility-scale water management in California, including statewide water infrastructure, rate setting, Proposition 218 and 26, infrastructure funding, and various legislative and regulatory requirements developed at the State and federal level that affect water rates in service areas across the state. I also serve on the State Water Board's Safe and Affordable Funding for Equity and Resilience Advisory Group, which directs $130 million in funding for safe drinking water projects across the state.
