Expanding Workforce Development
My own experience with the education system taught me that non-traditional pathways for our younger generation are absolutely essential, and not being promoted enough. As a person who attended an alternative high school, Skagit Valley College, an apprenticeship and now the University of Washington Bothell, I believe I am uniquely positioned to provide insight into the many pathways our students can take. If elected I would seek to promote and potentially partner with local training centers to encourage students to engage with pre-apprenticeships and apprenticeships.
Partnering With Local Service Providers
My skills as a legislative liaison and relationships with policymakers in Olympia will be an asset to the City Council. I will work collaboratively with state and local leaders, non-profits, charities, neighborhood associations, residents, and the development community to explore creative solutions to the problems we currently face. Similarly, I will work collaboratively with state and federal housing partners to obtain new grants and other funding sources for affordable housing and other service programs.
