As a political newcomer, my youth, education, and experience will allow me to bring fresh perspective to the council. At 16, I began my financial company which led to my current enrollment at the Chapman University studying Economics and Government. My experience will make me valuable to the Civic Council when budget issues arise. As a volunteer, I founded the Teen Leadership Council to bring a youth’s prospective to a community of family values, which led to LARCS honoring me as the 2011 Volunteer of the Year. I was honored as the ROP Distinguished Student of the Year as a teenager and also completed my Eagle Scout project for the Ladera Ranch Little League at Cox Park. I share a vested interest in the long-term success of our community by focusing on our schools and recreation assets to attract and retain current residents. Every community has issues. The key is how we work to solve them. I will champion projects that strengthen our schools, safety, and improve quality of life, including our local economy, and businesses by bringing innovative ideas. I thank you for your support to represent the residents as a Director on the Ladera Ranch Civic Council.
