CCPSA District Council 020
Edgewater
As an organizer at the Jewish Council on Urban Affairs, I watched the incredible work that JCUA and our coalition partners in GAPA, CPAC, and ECPS did to get the ECPS ordinance passed. Now I want to be one of the 66 people filling these new positions who is committed to hearing what our communities actually need when it comes to cultivating safety in our city, and providing community-sourced insight, input, and perspective to the district council and the commission, particularly from those who know that interacting with police is not a safe option for them.

I grew up in West Rogers Park. Often on my way to school I was pulled over by police, roughed up, and accused of gang activity. I learned of Violence Prevention in 2012 when my friend was killed in front of our old hang out where I was shot at later that day. I then started volunteering with cease fire.
I graduated C5 cohort from Kennedy King College in 2019 where I learned even more pillars of non violence and Restorative Justice later became a Outreach Worker for CP4P, moved up to Supervisor and currently the Program Manager for the entire Uptown and Rogers Park.

I was born and raised in the 40th Ward, 20th Police District to Irish immigrant parents. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from St. Xavier University. For the past 15 years I have been involved in my community and helped canvas for several local elections.I am deeply rooted and committed to making my community more engaged and inclusive. As someone who grew up in Chicago, I have seen firsthand the strain between communities and police. I believe we are in a unique position to help reshape our idea of policing from the community for the community.
