From Hawaii to San Diego: Embracing Community & Diversity

In 2009, my family and I made La Mesa our home. Since then, I’ve been dedicated to serving our community in various capacities. As a family law attorney, I have spent my career advocating for families and ensuring justice within our legal system. My professional experience is complemented by my active involvement in community service.

Dedicated to Community Service

Community Services Commission

I had the honor of serving on the Community Services Commission, where I worked diligently to address community needs and improve the quality of life for all residents. Additionally, I served on the Board of Directors for the La Mesa Park and Recreation Foundation, contributing to the enhancement and preservation of our parks and recreational facilities.

Engaged in community

I am an active parishioner of St. Martin of Tours Church, and served as the Parent-Teacher Group president at St. Martin of Tours Academy. Serving as president allowed me to foster a supportive and collaborative environment for students and parents, furthering my commitment to education and community involvement.

Engaged Educator and Parent: Building Strong Community Ties

My husband, a dedicated teacher with the San Diego Unified School District for 19 years, and I are proud parents of two wonderful children, a 9-year-old and a 15-year-old. Our family’s experiences and connections within La Mesa have deeply influenced my understanding of the community’s needs and aspirations.

Genevieve’s professional background

I am an active member of several bar associations, including the San Diego County Bar Association, San Diego Family Law Bar Association, Lawyers Club, Filipino American Lawyers of San Diego, and Pan-Asian Lawyers of San Diego. These affiliations reflect my commitment to professional excellence and my dedication to supporting the legal community.


Thank you for taking the time to learn about me. I am eager to bring my experience, dedication, and passion to the La Mesa City Council, working together to create a brighter future for all residents.
