Sandy is a third generation Afro-Latina, born near the Panama Canal. Over the last fourteen years Sandy has worked as a community organizer, a carpenter, and a mentor to many youth in our community. Before winning her City Council race, Sandy was the founder of BK ROT, an environmental youth jobs program, and a co-founder of the Mayday Space, a home for social movements.

In 2021, Sandy won a grassroots, progressive, people-powered campaign with one of the largest coalitions that cycle. Bringing together labor unions, member based organizations, working families, and the incredible people that make up the neighborhoods of District 37, Sandy won with resounding success on election night.

Since taking office, Sandy has committed to making government work for us, the people, not the ultra-rich. As your City Council Member, she is fighting to keep you in your home, ensure you feel safe on your block, and that you and your loved ones can enjoy a healthy, livable future here in Brooklyn.
