Why did you join the LA Fire Justice team?‍

The town I was raised in has been completely decimated, all due to negligence. The fire that tore through Altadena didn’t have to happen—it was preventable. I want to ensure that there is justice and accountability for all affected.

What is your favorite thing to do in LA?

Concerts, concerts, and more concerts! LA has some very unique concert venues that attract top notch talent. I average about 20 concerts per year!
