Candidate Statement

As a proud SAG-AFTRA member since 2001, I’m here to fight fiercely for fair contracts, residuals, image rights, and real on-set safety. I’ve served on our LA Local Board for two years and attended numerous National Board meetings, advocating for meaningful change. As Co-Chair of the LA Young Performers Committee for four years, I’ve championed protections for our most vulnerable talent. I’m completing my Master's in Legal Sciences at Cornell, focused on AI and negotiation, serve on the Child Protection Task Force, and bring political experience, working with congressmen to push federal protections for minors. Let’s demand better—together.
