MY STORY
BUSINESS LEADER
PUBLIC SERVICE
After surviving the Cambodian Killing Fields, my family arrived in Lowell in 1985 seeking safety, opportunity, and the promise of the American Dream. Raised by a single mother with 6 siblings, I learned the values of hard work, perseverance, and giving back to the community that welcomed us.
As co-founder of a downtown Lowell mortgage company, I've helped countless first-time homebuyers achieve the dream of homeownership and build brighter futures for their families.
I've dedicated my life to public service. Every role I've held has been guided by one simple principle: lesten first, lead with integrity, and always put the people of Lowell first.
