In 2022, she ran for Los Angeles City Council and in 2024 she ran for California State Assembly, which gave her a platform to champion dozens of issues she cares deeply about, including housing, public transportation, support for small businesses, education, and LGBT+ & women's rights. She lives in South Los Angeles with her spouse and two dogs and enjoys running, snowboarding, and traveling. 

She works out of the ASU California Center- Broadway in Los Angeles.
