For more than three decades in Washington DC, Gloria has been a respected leader at the intersection of culture, commerce, and community development. She has served on community boards, held both elected (ANC 6A Commissioner) and mayoral-appointed (DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities) roles, and works across banking, finance, philanthropy, and the arts. Her vision has never wavered: build thriving neighborhoods, expand economic opportunity, and center the voices of the people she serves.

As a homeowner living on the Capitol Hill side of H Street, NE, Gloria has always been a civically engaged neighbor. As a single mother of two daughters attending both DC Public Schools and DC public charter schools, she brings a parent’s perspective and commitment to building a safer, stronger, more affordable Ward 6.
