Background

I moved to Herndon soon after and fell in love with our diverse town.

Community Involvement

My commitment to community service runs deep. I have been actively involved in Potomac Fairways HOA for 6 years where I learnt quite a bit of the opportunities and challenges of 190 households. I am serving now as the Vice Chair of the Herndon Diversity Equity and Inclusion Committee. These experiences have given me a profound understanding of the issues facing our town and have fueled my desire to contribute positively to its future.
