It has been an honor to serve on the Critics Choice Association Board over the past term, and I aim to continue to have your support for re-election.

During my time on the Board, I’ve worked diligently to uphold the integrity and growth of our organization. As Board secretary, I’ve been committed to recording our Board meetings, working to deliver clear, organized communication and transparency. In addition, I’ve also proudly overseen and programmed the Celebration of Latino Cinema & Television for the last four years — an initiative that continues to elevate historically underrepresented voices, celebrate cultural excellence and expand our reach as a truly inclusive institution.

Another key focus of mine has been advocating for streamlining the number of nominees recognized across our awards. This push has helped increase clarity for the public, relevance in the industry, and alignment with our mission to honor the very best in film and television — not simply the most visible.

Looking ahead, I am committed to continuing efforts that bring even more credibility, fairness, and trust to our organization. That includes proposing and advocating for an official board vote to bring in an independent accounting firm to oversee all nominations and winners. This step will safeguard our integrity and ensure our selections remain beyond reproach.

Just as importantly, I will continue encouraging all members to see as many eligible films and series as possible prioritizing the full range of artistic achievements over simply trying to predict or reflect what other groups may do. We should lead, not follow.

Thank you for considering my candidacy. I believe in the mission of the Critics Choice Association and will continue working to ensure it reflects the best of what we do as critics, journalists, and champions of entertainment.
