I grew up navigating inequality every day.  

Growing up the son of a special education teacher and a small business owner, my family lived without excess. My parents gave everything to meet our family’s needs and to send my sister and I to a private school. Commuting between the working class community I grew up in and the wealthy one I went to school in, I learned how wealth determines life experience. ​For my peers, wealth created stability, security, and certainty—but for my family it seemed that no matter how hard my parents worked, how deeply they stressed, or how much they sacrificed, financial security was always out of reach.  

​

I’ve helped to invest over $100,000,000 to fight poverty and inequality.

After graduating from college with degrees in government and economics, I worked long hours as a strategy consultant. Then, in 2020, inspired by the community I found in New York’s BLM protests, I dedicated myself to social change. As an impact consultant, I work with philanthropists and nonprofits to fight poverty and reduce inequality.

​

I’ve spent countless hours pounding the pavement with my neighbors to build a better future. 

With the Zohran campaign, I was East Brooklyn Field Coordinator during the general election, where I helped to build our presence in Cypress Hills, East New York, Brownsville, and Canarsie. Organizing with NYC-DSA, I help to lead the Afrosocialists and Socialists of Color Caucus and work to build deep, long-term relationships with the community members and grassroots organizations that make this a multiracial, working-class movement.

​

With the East NY Community Land Trust, I’ve knocked on hundreds of doors, organized rallies, and stood with neighbors in court to help members of our community save their homes from predatory investors. As North Brooklyn Chapter Chair for New York Communities for Change, I have organized neighbors to support campaigns to tax the rich, freeze the rent, and create a public bank. With the Working Families Party, I have helped to build the base of this movement by leading canvasses and successfully fighting to keep the WFP ballot line. 

​

As First Vice Chair of Community Board 4, I helped to write the 2025 Responsible Development Policy – a comprehensive set of community demands for housing development in Bushwick. As Chair of the Environmental Protection, Transportation, and Sanitation Committee, we advocated for ADA compliance at Bushwick subway stations, leading the MTA to include full accessibility of Wilson Ave in the 2025-29 capital plan.

We have the power to build the city we deserve: one where everyone has access to housing, healthcare, safety, and dignity.

I’m running for State Assembly because the status quo is suffocating us. We live in the wealthiest city on Earth and yet a quarter of New York families live in poverty. Every year, the wealthy accumulate power while the working class—Black, brown, and immigrant communities especially—are pitted against each other as if there isn't enough to go around. None of that is normal and none of it has to be this way. We have the power to build the city we deserve but to do it we need an assembly member who is present with and accountable to the people of this district.
