I have over 25 years of experience working in Washington, D.C. I began as a restaurant server and worked hard to make my way to my current position alongside Mayor Muriel Bowser in the Executive Office of the Mayor. In my position working in the Mayor’s Office of Nightlife and Culture, I have been coordinating with government agencies to support small businesses helping to improve the success of our local economy and quality of life for District residents. I am now looking forward to taking the next step in my career.
