I';ve spent the last 25 years of my professional career in construction.
I'm a lead member of my companied philanthropy team and a liaison with Habitat for Humanity.
Why are you interested in serving on this Board, Commission or Committee? Public art has been a passion of mine for many years. I don';t think I appreciated it more than when I became a homeowner in the early 2000';s in Sunnyvale. It was brief, and since then I';ve lived ir many cities all over the Bay Area. I';m an avid 'jurban hiker'; and I love to explore the greater community where I live. I started working in Emeryville on a construction project in 2020. I fell in love with the East Bay then and decided to move here with my partner and my daughter in 2021. We began exploring immediately and one of the areas I appreciated most in Emeryville was the accessible public art throughout the city. I am passionate about public art and as a resident of Emeryville, I would love to be involved with upcoming projects and planning.
