Running for: Area Chief Steward, SoE & CoC

I’ve been organizing with our union for 4 years—from before our union was public, through our election, on our bargaining team, and now as a member of the executive board. I’ve been committed to strengthening our union through mass member engagement and collective action. I’ve worked with many departments to grow steward networks and develop new leaders, and we’ve launched campaigns for better pay, advisor accountability, and health and safety. I’ve also helped organize actions like speakouts against unjust discipline and practice pickets. I’m running for Area Chief Steward with the BOLD slate to build a powerful union that can secure a historic contract in 2026.
