I'm a 24 year old Technical Support Engineer with a passion for city planning, problem solving, and public well being.
  • Arlington is the highest population US city with no mass public transit system. This city needs to focus more investment on public infrastructure to address such issues.
  • The cost of housing and the related issue of homelessness are both still worsening. These concerns must be addressed to provide affordable housing and decent living conditions to all residents.
  • The city needs to make an active effort to be more transparent with residents and collect their opinion on future/past decision. Community input must not be taken lightly.
Public Transporation, Planning & Zoning, Public Well Being
It's responsible for city planning decisions as well as the appointing of public officials.
I look up to Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I would like to follow his example in fearlessly sticking up for what I believe in.
My integrity, honesty, and passion are my most important qualities for this position.
To stay in touch with the public and constantly fight for their interests.
Someone who improved the well being of his society.

Catch-22. I love the anti-war message.
I've struggled with feelings of isolation, but I'm happy to have found a supportive community.
As long as the previous experience doesn't create a conflict of interests, it could be useful.
What's the answer the life, the universe, and everything? 42.
These are fundamental responsibilities that must not be taken lightly.
