About

My Message

Garden Grove has been my family’s home for more than 40 years. It is where we built our lives, raised our family, and experienced the opportunities that make America such a remarkable nation. Serving as your City Councilmember from 2014 to 2022 was one of the greatest honors of my life, and I am asking for your support to continue serving the community that has given so much to my family.

My commitment to public service is deeply personal. As a refugee, my family came to the United States seeking freedom, opportunity, and a better future. America welcomed us with compassion, and Garden Grove became the community where we rebuilt our lives. I have never forgotten the generosity shown to my family. Public service is my way of giving back to this great nation and to the community.
