As a Sr. Manager in large Aerospace Corporations, I managed groups of supervisors, project managers, and engineers. I know how to set priorities with limited resources to produce the best products for the company.

I am passionate about serving the communities, and I have serving our communities over the last 20 years:

-I was an Executive Director of a Youth & Young adult ministry for over 15 years. We organized retreats for the youth and young adults annually. We visited the juvenile hall kids on a monthly basis. We served food to the homeless shelters in O.C. and Los Angeles. We visited elders in the nursing home. We taught citizenship classes in local churches all over O.C.

-I am also a Community Leader:

I have worked with various religious faiths, political organizations, different groups in the community. One of the events that I was proud to lead was the Election to establish the Vietnamese-American Federation in southern California. This event was sponsored by the Interfaith Council. 18,000 people participated in the voting process. It set the record in the Vietnamese community for the largest turned out ever.

• I've organized Walk-A-Thon events for the Katrina, Tsunami & hurricane victims. These events attracted over 10,000 people and raised several hundred thousand dollars to a million dollar to help those victims.

• I've also organized Candle Light Vigils to pray for 9/11 victims and to raise awareness for religious freedom & human rights.

I want to make the city of Westminster not only a safe place to be but also a best City to live in.
