Why are you interested in serving on this Board, Commission, or Committee?
I am a new homeowner in Emeryville. I was selected for the Emeryville First Time Homebuyer Program. This program gave me a substantial down payment, which allowed me to buy a condo in Watergate in Emeryville. I never thought I could own my own home. With down payment assistance, alot of determination, and a little luck, I am now a proud homeowner. I am forever grateful for City of Emeryville for giving me this opportunity. I would like to bring my personal and professional experience and contribute to this committee and start to give back to the city I now call home.
