Labor Experience
In working closely with several Area Reps over the past 5 years, I have gained experience scribing in meetings initiated by management, attending investigatory, attendance, and performance meetings as well as I’ve also initiated meetings with management at the request of agents to raise workplace concerns, clarify policies, and follow up on resolutions.

VOTE FOR PARISOver the past several years, I have represented members as a peer witness, helped coworkers understand and enforce their contract rights, and played a significant role in educating members so they could advocate for themselves. I did this without a title, without protection, and often at personal risk, because members needed support and someone had to step up. If I can do that without a title, imagine what I’ll do with one.

FOR PRESIDENT
Candidate for President • Local 6001
I’m running for President of Local 6001 because our union should work as hard as the members who keep this operation moving. Every member deserves a union that communicates with transparency, provides consistent education, and enforces our contract without hesitation. This campaign is about my vision, my record, and the kind of Local 6001 members deserve. As President I will ensure every member has access to accurate information, fair processes, and a union that protects their rights without retaliation or exclusion and regardless of position, seniority, or viewpoint.
It's about building a union that works. Whether you work in RES, at an airport hub or at a smaller station, your voice matters — I pledge not only to respect every voice but to amplify every voice in our union.
As President, I will publish meeting minutes, financial information, committee reports, and agreements so every member has access to the information they deserve.
Education that Empowers
As President, I will ensure every member has the knowledge and information necessary to stand up for their rights with confidence.
Enforcement that Delivers
As President of the largest Local, I will ensure we have adequate fighting stewards. Under my leadership we will have MMA Stewards. We will train them. We will support them. We will stand behind them. When we fight, we win!
Independence, not “inexperience.”
I wasn’t inexperienced. I was intentionally excluded — and instead of disappearing, I did the work anyway. I didn’t wait to be chosen. I chose to serve. They have titles, but I have trust.
Represented members as a peer witness
Educated members on contract rights
Helped coworkers challenge discipline
Built awareness without official power
Took retaliation risk so others didn’t have to
Ready to build something better?
Many actions can be started immediately if I'm elected, others may require Executive Board approval or formal adoption at the Delegate Assembly. If elected I will publish specific 30/60/90 deliverables and regular progress updates. For items that need Exec Board or Delegate Assembly approval I will present proposals and publish outcomes.
