December 2023, Better With Bali
In 2009, Portland’s promise drew me for my pharmacy doctorate, a city flourishing with opportunity and vitality. Specializing in HIV, mental health, and addiction treatment, I proudly managed a downtown pharmacy, a beacon of hope for thousands.
Though adversity struck in 2020, leading to the closure of our pharmacy, it fueled my passion for positive change. Portland deserves a resilient advocate. I stand ready to uplift and restore our city’s resilience, making it even stronger and more vibrant than before.
On a personal note, I’ve poured my heart into supporting our community. I founded a nonprofit to address the very issues we face. You can learn more about our mission and efforts here.
I’m here because Portland deserves better. As a pharmacist specializing in healthcare, particularly mental health and addiction, I’m determined to extend compassion to the homeless grappling with these issues. Our city has lost its vibrancy; it’s time to restore its former self. Remember when Portland was bustling and beautiful? We need to reclaim that charm, address the homelessness crisis, and prioritize public safety. Let’s focus on treatment first — providing hope and solutions. I’m invested, I’m passionate, and I’m running for Portland City Council to ensure every Portlander thrives. Join me in this mission.
