Meet Tina

A City Hall that works for its residents.

I'm a Newport Beach resident, a neighbor, and a mother of two. I own a small business, and I serve on the board of an international nonprofit. And by training, I'm a licensed speech-language pathologist. I've worked in public-school special education, built a private practice, and spent years training graduate students coming into the field.

My Why

What I Bring to City Hall

I didn't come to this work by theory alone. I've sat with families who needed someone to listen. I've built something from the ground up. I've served a mission larger than myself. Those experiences all taught me the same thing, over and over: if you want people to trust you with their future, you have to show up, tell the truth, and put them first.

That's the work I want to bring to City Hall.
