As a civil rights lawyer born and raised in San Diego, I’ve always valued the kind of community and inclusion that the SDTTA has fostered. I’d like to do more than just help Javid set up and take down tables and barriers, and I would be excited to give back to this community that has welcomed me so warmly. My professional experience has taught me to approach challenges with empathy and a commitment to fairness—values that I will bring to the board. I look forward to the chance to help serve and shape the future of America’s finest table tennis club!
