Experience in Union Work
I have been a VR member throughout my entire career and have served as a shop steward at Air Atlanta since 2012 and in the VR Consultative Council since 2014.
I have also attended several ASÍ & LÍV congresses on behalf of VR.
I have always been actively involved in union work and have served on several committees within VR.
I have been on the VR Board since 2020, vice-Chair of VR 2023–2024 and alternate Board Member of VR 2024–2025.
I have been a member of the ASÍ Executive Board for the past 3 years.
Key Focus Areas
I believe it is crucial that VR members are aware of their rights and the services VR offers. My goal is to improve the welfare and working conditions of VR members.
I want to ensure that VR members' disposable income is sufficient for them to make ends meet and enjoy a good quality of life—including the ability to pursue their interests and fully enjoy life. I have a longstanding interest in wage and contract affairs and want to help improve wages and purchasing power for all members while also working to find solutions to the housing crisis affecting many VR members. VR must continue its housing policy and expand the availability of apartments for its members.
For this reason, I ask for your vote so that I can continue working for you and all my fellow VR members.
