What qualifies you for this appointment?
What is your vision for growth in South San Francisco?
As an avid and regular cyclist and person who prefers walking around South San Francisco, I feel that I have a very good handle on the needs and concerns of citizens that are both cyclists and pedestrians. Likewise, I have a vested interest in helping ensure that these needs and concerns are heard and supported by the city.
I am interested in being civically engaged in my neighborhood and community. As a member of this community, I want to contribute in whatever way I can to improve the lives of everyone living in it.
My history is a diverse one that ranges from work as an entrepreneur and business owner in SSF, to a financial center manager at Bank of America, to currently being an educator and data scientist. With this leadership experience, I can bring a a unique perspective on issues that may come up within the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee. Likewise, my significant experience handling clientele and team members make me an ideal choice for clear communication, negotiating compromise, and/or bringing people together towards a common goal.
The location of South San Francisco makes it an excellent place to become a model for efficient and environmentally friendly mobility for the entire Bay Area. I envision South San Francisco as being a city that is built around an active community of pedestrians and bicyclists. By focusing on creating pedestrian and bicycle friendly spaces, the city can grow without all the headaches that come with high density car traffic. Just like everyone else in the Bay Area, I detest sitting in traffic and attempting to travel via car. Creating a city where people can congregate and enjoy the outdoors without the aggravation of trying to navigate would encourage increased engagement and attract people to the city to walk around and enjoy the various businesses and spaces available here.
