What have you done to make your community safe? Include any volunteer contributions to the community if applicable:Describa su participación en su vecindario de San Rafael. ¿Qué ha hecho para que su comunidad sea segura? Incluya cualquier contribución voluntaria a la comunidad, si corresponde: I'm an active volunteer in San Rafael and across Marin. With regards to directly serving the community, I volunteer locally at the Ritter Center, which provides supportive services to our most vulnerable populations. Specifically I help in their food pantry, distributing food to housed and unhoused individuals experiencing food insecurity. I like to think that this makes San Rafael a safer place by showing compassion and respect to people in hard times, which I feel inspires a stronger sense of community. Additionally I am a volunteer with the Marin Foster Care Association in their partnership program with Marin's Children and Family Services, Friends of the Family. This program is meant to provide volunteer support for resource families (ie foster parents). In my own experience, this has ranged from watching kids for the day, to picking up kids from supervised visits with their biological family and taking them home to their resource families. Q9 Please list your reasons for wanting to serve.Por favor, indique las razones por las que desea servir: I have family in law enforcement but I also know people who have had terrible experiences with law enforcement. I emphasize with people on both sides. As such I feel this puts me in a unique position to bring a balanced approach that will help this commission. I want to help ensure that PAAC is a safe space for the commissioners, stakeholders, and members of the public to share their concerns. That this isn't a place where blame is being thrown around. As a commissioner, I want to approach this with an attitude of curiosity, a desire to learn and get to the roots of the issues by actively listening to all relevant parties. For my work at PG&E, when safety incidents occur, we don’t look to assign blame, instead we try to understand the course of events, what was deliberate and unintended, seeing where things went wrong with our standards and procedures; afterwards we decide what controls can be put in place to mitigate risk. That’s the kind of mindset I plan to bring as a commissioner. Ultimately, I want to contribute to a future where our city police and staff feel supported, but at the same time where San Rafael residents, especially in BIPOC communities, do not feel afraid of the SRPD, and we have helped create a more equitable justice system that our community deserves. It’s about finding the right balance; and that will take time, effort, communication, patience, cooperation, and ultimately trust. Page 2: Police Accountability Advisory Committee Application Questions Boards, Commissions & Committees Application 3 / 5 Q10 Please share your perception and or perspective about law enforcement in San Rafael.Por favor, comparta su percepción o perspectiva sobre la aplicación de la ley en San Rafael. I would say that I've never felt intimidated by their presence; in fact I've generally felt reassured when they're present at large public gatherings such as the No Kings Rally earlier this year. Additionally I appreciate that our local law enforcement includes crisis counselors to respond to issues of mental health. Q11 If selected to serve, what reasonable accommodation requests should the Committee facilitator know, in order for you to fully participate?En caso de ser seleccionado, ¿qué ajustes razonables debe saber el facilitador del Comité para que usted pueda participar plenamente? I have obligations on the 1st Thursday and 2nd Wednesday of each month, otherwise my schedule is generally open on weekday evenings. I do not require any other accommodations Q12 Describe possible areas in which you may have a conflict of interest with the city if any.Describa posibles áreas en las que pueda tener un conflicto de intereses con la ciudad, si las hubiera: There are no conflicts of interest with the city that I'm aware of, but in terms of the commission, as I previously mentioned I do have an older brother in law enforcement, with the city of Oakland Q13 Do you officially represent an organization, agency or group that provides violence prevention services? If so, please name the group and your position.¿Representa oficialmente a una organización, agencia o grupo que presta servicios de prevención de la violencia? En caso afirmativo, indique el grupo y su cargo. As I've mentioned, I'm a volunteer with the Marin Foster Care Association which partners with the county's Children and Family Services. While the program I'm a part of does not deal with violence prevention per say, as part of our training we learned of the sometimes violent circumstances that led the children to be in the foster care system. Our training also involved identifying signs of abuse, including the physical kind, when interacting with the children and how to report it to the appropriate agencies.

I'm active in the Democratic community here in Marin. I've participated in a number of activities including phone banking and neighborhood canvassing for candidates and local ballot measures. I also serve on Marin's commission for the Marin County Free Library.

The breadth of my experience focuses on vegetation management with particular emphasis on invasive plant control, native plant surveys, and ecological assessments. In 2015, I achieved my Master of Science in natural resource ecology, advancing my technical knowledge in statistics and ArcGIS. Now with a wealth of practical field skills, as well as technical expertise from my master’s degree, I’m interested in advancing into conservation program management. I’d like to use my collected knowledge and skills to develop stewardship strategies, ensuring ecological productivity and diversity of public lands in the face of climate change. Experience Pacific Gas and Electric Company Quality Management Auditor (Veg Management) August 2021 - Present (4 years 2 months) San Rafael, California, United States As part of PG&E's quality management, essentially my role is to confirm tree work and make sure nothing was missed; that trimming meets our compliance standards and that remaining trees with strike potential to our high voltage facilities, do not pose any risk. Additionally by reviewing the work of inspectors and tree crews, who are often contractors, we hold them accountable for the quality of their work; and with time we hope to encourage the proper behavior and mindset that PG&E expects of all its workers. I've done work verification on a number of PG&E's vegetation management programs, including Defined Scope (routine vegetation management) and EVM (enhanced vegetation management). Though work verification in both programs have the same goals, each has their own unique criteria. For Defined Scope, I'm looking for 1) any trees that could encroach on required powerline clearances before for the next time inspectors come through Page 1 of 8 (approx. 6 months) and 2) checking any trees with strike potential for defects that compromises the tree's structural integrity (fungal infection, root damage, severe lean, etc.). If I find a tree that meets the criteria, I map the tree in ArcGIS Collector, flag it for follow up inspection, and continue on. While with EVM, in addition to mapping trees that fail our compliance requirements, I have to perform assessments on every single tree with strike potential, using Survey123, regardless of the tree's health. Davey Resource Group, Inc. 2 years 6 months Lead Estimating Arborist (Distribution) July 2020 - August 2021 (1 year 2 months) Santa Rosa, California, United States The overall purpose of my position is to be a point of contact between PG&E and Davey Resource Group. I delegate field assignments to the estimating arborists on my team, prioritize assignments based on urgency of the work, and administer the workflow so that tags are completed in a timely manner and fully documented. I oversee vegetation management for PG&E system maintenance and construction projects in Sonoma county. PG&E continually performs maintenance, upgrades, and expands their facilities which can require vegetation management to allow access to the facilities and/or to maintain compliance with California state law. We will receive a list of projects, or tags, from program managers that need to be completed by the end of the year, I will then allot the tags to my arborists, who will inspect the site, assess the scope of tree work needed, determine an estimate for the cost, and submit a work request to a PG&E contracted tree trimming service who will fulfill the work request. These tags are recorded in a master tracker spreadsheet which is continually updated by me and the field arborists. After I receive confirmation that work has been completed by our contracted tree crews, I review the photos to ensure that the work was done to our specifications, and I submit documentation to the appropriate PG&E clerks for closure. In addition to our vegetation work around system maintenance, we will frequently get special requests from other program managers, field engineers, and foremen from PG&E and other contracted companies such as Rokstad Power, Par Electric, Underground Construction, etc. These requests can vary; some can be simple trimming requests for new poles being installed or service lines being put underground, etc. Other requests involve future work being Page 2 of 8 considered but the managers need a sense of what, if any, vegetation work is required, what the scope of that work would be, and the estimated cost; we as arborists, provide that information for them. Estimating Arborist (Transmission) April 2020 - July 2020 (4 months) Santa Rosa, California, United States As of June 2020 I am a certified arborist with the International Society of Arboriculture Certification Number: WE-13014A After becoming an EA, my first project was on pole clearance for transmission towers and other structures. PG&E is looking to expand their vegetation management on transmission structures, in addition to the transmission lines. Drone crews from PG&E would identify points along the transmission line with encroaching vegetation and we would investigate to see how close vegetation was and prescribe work as needed. The goal was to maintain 10 feet of clearance around structures, from ground to sky, as well as 5 feet around any guy supporting wires. This required regular travel; locations were scattered in Marin, Sonoma, Mendocino, and Lake counties. By the time I transferred to EA distribution, we had gotten a full month ahead of schedule. Consulting Utility Forester March 2019 - April 2020 (1 year 2 months) Marin As a Consulting Utility Forester, I am responsible for inspecting and mitigating hazardous vegetation along utilities on behalf of our client, PG&E. Our goal is to prevent disruption in service, to PG&E customers, as well as limiting the risk of wildfire to customers homes and property. I have inspected in a variety of environments, ranging from urban, residential, to open space; each with their own unique challenges. My position also requires regular contact with private landowners, some of whom do not have a favorable opinion of PG&E, justifying the necessity of our work and negotiating enhanced vegetation management when necessary.

I volunteer regularly in community clean-up efforts and have helped host various neighborhood events to strengthen local connection. As a board member at our local interfaith organization and an active member of the Baha'i Faith community, I advocate for unity and understanding among all faiths and cultures.

Incluya cualquier contribución voluntaria a la comunidad, si corresponde: While living in San Rafael for the past 3 years I have worked with helping the unhoused population. I volunteer for Legal Aid of Marin helping the unhoused population fill out community court intakes at the Saint Vincent DePaul self help desk on Wednesdays when needed. I am also Co-Chair of the Marin County Lived Experienced Advisory Board (MC-LEAB) and our board has a booth at the quarterly Seeds of Hope event for the unhoused at the San Rafael Community Center. At the Seeds of Hope we hand out multiple coat racks of gently used clothes at the event. Our advisory board has also met with San Rafael city staff on numerous occasions and we offer feedback and advice on ways to improve homelessness in San Rafael as well as the sanctioned camp at the Mahon Creek Path. Q9 Please list your reasons for wanting to serve.Por favor, indique las razones por las que desea servir: I have a few reasons for wanting to serve on the Police Advisory & Accountability Committee (PAAC). One of the reasons I want to join is to be a conduit and voice for those who are impacted by the San Rafael Police Department (SRPD). I am in firm belief that listening and voicing the concerns and advice of marginalized and underrepresented communities in San Rafael is paramount to building a strong, effective Police Advisory & Accountability Committee (PAAC). Another reason is to ensure that SRPD is accountable and that there is transparency within SRPD. I think those two qualities are vital for a police department in gaining trust with the public. I also believe I have I have the experience to build the bridge to fostering a positive partnership with SRPD. Over the last 5 years I have worked with city staff, council members, supervisors and police departments on improving homelessness across Marin. I’m confident I can do the same good work as a member of the PAAC. Page 2: Police Accountability Advisory Committee Application Questions Boards, Commissions & Committees Application 3 / 5 Q10 Please share your perception and or perspective about law enforcement in San Rafael.Por favor, comparta su percepción o perspectiva sobre la aplicación de la ley en San Rafael. Well, to be honest, I have to believe one of the main reasons the city created the PAAC was due to arrest of Julio Jimenez Lopez and the subsequent use of force charges that were filed on two San Rafael police officers. The perception of law enforcement, based on this incident, within the community of San Rafael (including myself) was not good. The Profiling and Identity Act (RIPA) data in San Rafael shows that there is over policing in minority communities which is not unique because the same could be said with all law enforcement agencies across the country. Still, I think that there could be improvements made within SRPD that can help change the course. I fully believe that police are essential and needed in society even when there are in fact bad cops on the force. Again, accountability, transparency, listening and working with the community can help build trust with the public despite of this. Q11 If selected to serve, what reasonable accommodation requests should the Committee facilitator know, in order for you to fully participate?En caso de ser seleccionado, ¿qué ajustes razonables debe saber el facilitador del Comité para que usted pueda participar plenamente? I can fully participate without any reasonable accommodations. Q12 Describe possible areas in which you may have a conflict of interest with the city if any.Describa posibles áreas en las que pueda tener un conflicto de intereses con la ciudad, si las hubiera: I do not have any possible areas of conflict of interest with the city.
