Along my journey, I’ve learned that “behind every successful woman is a tribe of other successful women who have her back.”

I am so proud to have earned the support from these sharp, goal-driven, competitive, and high-achieving San Diegan women.

Hear what they have to say in this video:

• I am grateful to be part of a lifelong movement promoting women in business, health care, STEAM, and politics.
• I am proud to be a member of a historic San Diego City Council, where the majority of the members are women.
• I have fought for pay equity and sexual harassment-free workplaces by creating the Workplace Equity Initiative.
• I’ve led and empowered young women by founding the CONNECT program at UCSD, preparing them for successful careers in the STEAM fields.
• I’ve defended a Woman’s Right to Choose on the Board of Planned Parenthood of the Pacific Southwest.
