Excited to share that I was awarded a K08 from National Cancer Institute 🎉🥂 Couldn’t have done this w/o my incredible mentors 🙏🏿 In training when I thought abt what a researcher was/looked like, I never envisioned someone like me. I’m glad to change that, even just a bit, for those after me ❤️

To our Southern California neighbors facing these devastating challenges, we stand with you. The road to recovery is long, but together, we’ll rebuild stronger than ever. As Mayor, I will be committed to quickly reopening closed fire stations and restoring our rainy day fund.
