Organizing Director
I am an advocate for intersectional social justice movements and environmental justice issues.
I work primarily on environmental justice (EJ) issues by working with communities that are directly impacted. Here in San Bernardino, this community has been mainly been impacted by the logistics industry and goods movement. I organize and help educate community leaders on the issues in order to impact policy decisions. Our end goal through our various programs and initiatives is to build community power.

Don't be afraid to ask people for help and guidance. Always advocate for yourself and what you want. Do things that scare you and constantly seek to challenge yourself. Seek out community groups that can give you support.
