I also introduced ordinances to address the nips issue and animal breeding regulations, in addition to advocating for the allocation of $1 million in ARPA funds for youth-led initiatives by the Youth Council. Affordable Housing: I advocated for policies to support lower-income residents, including co-sponsoring an ordinance amending Section 32B1 of the Zoning Ordinances that require a portion of any new development to be allocated for affordable housing. I also assisted residents in need, both through housing authorities and with letters of recommendation, and initiated efforts to combat homelessness. Accessibility and Engagement: I co-authored a resolution condemning racism and promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion. I championed initiatives to enhance accessibility for residents with disabilities, conducted outreach through translated materials and mailers, and collaborated for over a year on a public micro-transit initiative with local and state entities to improve transportation and reduce traffic congestion. When I’m not in the chambers, I’m juggling between providing constituent services, meetings with city officials and community leaders, and planning upcoming initiatives. Outside of my council duties, I have stayed involved in our community through organizations like the Everett Haitian Community Center and the Greater Malden Asian American Coalition. Prior to serving as your Ward 5 City Councilor, I had a strong background in volunteer work within our community, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to further amplify the impact of my efforts in this role.
