You are the one true love of my life and I failed you....

Five years ago, a FaceTime call with my grandfather, my "Dadu," changed how I look at healthcare. I noticed he wasn't wearing his dentures. He admitted he lost his old set but didn't want to burden my father with the out-of-pocket cost of a replacement. As a seventh-grader, I assumed his medical insurance covered it. I was wrong; dental care was completely excluded.
That memory stuck with me. Years later, while volunteering at Pleasanton&rsquo;s senior center, I heard identical stories from our city&rsquo;s older residents. And the neglect fueled me to act. I joined the Magic Tooth Bus mobile clinic and quickly realized the crisis wasn't affecting only seniors&mdash;families of all backgrounds lacked a predictable place for checkups. Without a clinical license, I focused on administrative red tape, spending a summer building a database of Bay Area clinics accepting Medi-Cal.
A year ago, I brought this work home to the East Bay by creating the foundation Mind Your Molars. My father and I run neighborhood drives to collect dental supplies across 100 to 150 homes at a time. At community health fairs, we use a tri-fold display to offer step-by-step instructions on navigating Medi-Cal and understanding legal rights within Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs).
While my grandfather has passed away, the burden he carried remains for countless local families. By battling these neighborhood problems through community efforts, we can end the ignorance of dental health.

Our regional parks need board members who actually use them. As an avid hiker, mountain biker, and weekly park user, I see firsthand where trail maintenance is neglected and how urgent proactive wildfire safety is for our parks, open spaces, and bordering neighborhoods.&nbsp;Having been appointed to the Park Advisory Committee (PAC) in 2022 and now serving as its Elected Chair&mdash;alongside my past leadership as PAC Finance Subcommittee Chair and a 30+ year career at Coca-Cola and Clorox&mdash;I bring the proven oversight and governance experience our parks need.
I&rsquo;m running for the East Bay Regional Park District Board of Directors to bring firsthand experience and professional, accountable leadership to park governance for residents across Pleasanton, Livermore, Dublin, Sunol, Fremont, and Newark.
That hands-on, practical approach is why I am honored to have earned the endorsement of our local first responders:
<ul><li>&#128293; Alameda County Firefighters Association (IAFF Local 55)</li><li>&#128293; Livermore-Pleasanton Firefighters (IAFF Local 1974)</li><li>&#128293; Fremont Firefighters (IAFF Local 1689)</li></ul>
They trust my campaign because I pair real user knowledge with a relentless focus on community safety. As your Director, my priorities for Ward 5 will be:
<ul><li>&#128658; Wildfire Mitigation: Proactive fuel reduction through prescribed fire and conservation grazing, and a fully staffed EBRPD Fire Department. That&rsquo;s how we keep our parks, our neighborhoods, and our firefighters safe.</li><li>&#128693; Responsible, Safe Access: Increasing safe, well-maintained trails for all users.</li><li>&#129413; Habitat &amp; Watershed Conservation: Protecting our parks, open spaces, and watersheds.</li><li>&#128104;&zwj;&#128105;&zwj;&#128103;&zwj;&#128102; Recreation: Support family-friendly park experiences.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</li><li>&#128483;&#65039; Accountable Leadership: A park Director who listens to local residents and responds to your concerns.&nbsp;</li></ul>
I would be honored to earn your vote to bring active, accountable leadership to our regional parks.
