Avi Aiken Fernandez
Creating a Brighter Future Through Law and Leadership
As an attorney with experience in our federal courts, I'm uniquely positioned to address critical challenges facing our communities. My legal experience in constitutional and international law allows me to navigate complex issues like the rise of generative AI and the evolving Geo-political landscape.
My background in investigative-based prosecution and law enforcement adjacent roles has instilled in me a deep understanding of justice and a commitment to finding effective solutions. I have the critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and clear communication necessary to effectively stand for our communities.
I'm a proven leader with a track record of success in both corporate and government sectors. My international experiences, language ability, and diverse skill set allow me to connect with people from all walks of life bridging divides. I'm a strong advocate for accountability and community engagement, and I'm committed to using my voice to champion the values that make our communities thrive.
