For an Affordable, Thriving Truckee

Priorities

These are some of the top priorities our campaign is focused on, based on what we've heard from the community:

Community First

As a Councilmember, my job is to listen to our community and put your needs first.

Affordability

We need a Town Council that is laser-focused on reducing the cost of living.

Housing

We need local and workforce housing so Truckee remains a place where people of all ages and incomes can make their home.

Local Economy

We need a Truckee where anyone can start a business and thrive.

Responsive Government

It should take days, not months, to get an approval or permit

Quality of Life

We must preserve the excellent quality of life, environment, and recreation access we have in Truckee.

Experienced Leadership

My husband and I were initially drawn to Truckee by the mountains and lifestyle, but we quickly fell in love with the local community that makes Truckee so unique.

While we were drawn here by the mountains, we stayed because of the community. I’m running to put that local community first by always listening. 

A little about me: I grew up in Los Angeles. I went to Yale, where I studied Economics & Religious Studies and met my now husband. I've worked as a consultant, a community organizer, and now I run my own financial advisory practice. But I'm most proud of the work I've done here: showing up, listening, and working for a better future in Truckee.

I bring relevant Truckee experience to the Town Council. I currently serve as the Chair of the Truckee Planning Commission, where I am focused on addressing Truckee’s housing needs while ensuring new development contributes positively to our community. I was a leader on Measure G for a new library and am an organizer for Truckee Pride. I also volunteer with the Rotary Club and the Tahoe Jewish Community.

If elected, I would be the first Asian American and openly gay member of the Truckee Town Council.
