 I want to learn as much as I can on the Metro Public Safety Advisory Commitee and Pasadena Police Oversight Commission and truly understand creating policies and reports.
 
 How to effectively learn to message the story of the community and police to many roads of rebuilding trust through understanding how complex and different they both are.
 
 To build relationships beyond Pasadena that I can learn from commissioners who have gone ahead of me. How centering equity in suffering and frustration on both sides is a journey.
 
How to win each vote among my fellow commissioners and the strategies that go past relationships are needed.
 
 More understanding the criminal justice system from a place of within. Just a lot to learn for the beneficial of my community.
