Longtime PQ resident who has been involved in community sports and other activities for 20+ years. I recently oversaw the Entertainment Schedule at the 2025 PQ Fiesta, helping creating the biggest rock event in PQ’s history with 11 total cover bands. It was a huge success. I vetted the bands, came up with the scheduled, sent emails, help setup the stage, and collaborated with key Fiesta stakeholders.

As a longtime resident of Rancho Peñasquitos, I care deeply about the well-being, diversity, and future of our community. I am a practicing estate planning attorney, a licensed real estate broker, and a proud board member of both the Alliance of Chinese Americans San Diego and the San Diego Chinese Attorneys Association. I have also volunteered with Meals on Wheels for over six years, serving our seniors with dedication and compassion.

I’ve been a resident of Rancho Peñasquitos for years — raising my kids here, attending church here, and running my small business in the neighborhood. As co-owner of Kalei’s Kitchenette, I’ve built strong community ties through partnerships, events, and local outreach.
Since 2024, I’ve been an active community partner, volunteering in events like the PQ Fiesta and Cookies & Cocoa. I’ve organized initiatives that brought people together, including our 1st-year anniversary event that drew 600 attendees, a Toys for Tots drive with the Marines, and multiple school fundraising nights that supported local students.
In 2024, I was honored to be recognized by the Mayor of San Diego as a Woman of Distinction for community contributions and small business leadership.
My focus is on supporting small business growth, creating more opportunities for local entrepreneurs, and building events that strengthen community connection. I believe in showing up, being consistent, and helping make our neighborhood a better place to live and work.

As a dedicated community leader and professional with a strong background in education, librarianship, and nonprofit management, I am excited to submit my statement of qualifications to serve on the Rancho Penasquitos town council.
With almost 15 years of experience in leadership roles, including my current position as Associate University Librarian (equivalent to Associate Dean) at UC San Diego, I possess a unique blend of skills that would enable me to make a positive impact on the town council. My expertise in strategic planning, team management, and community engagement has allowed me to develop and implement initiatives that promote accessibility, equity, and inclusivity. I have led large-scale projects with a broad range of stakeholders to success, and have specific expertise in assessment — I hold a master’s degree in assessment methods for education, and currently serve on our elementary school’s School Site Council.
My commitment to community service is evident through my involvement in various community and professional organizations. I currently serve as the Read-a-Thon chair for Deer Canyon’s Parent Staff Organization, where we raised over $20,000 for the school, and co-lead a local giving circle that has raised thousands of dollars of state-level races through The States Project. I also have held leadership roles in national professional organizations, including co-founding the Conference on Academic Library Management and serving as the President of the American Library Association’s New Members Round Table.
