I'm interested in serving on the Mobile Home Rent Review and Stabilization Commission because I've spent over a decade developing affordable housing across the San Joaquin Valley and understand the need to balance tenant protections with sustainable property operations. As a Senior Project Manager with Self-Help Enterprises and a former project manager at the Fresno Housing Authority, I've worked directly with both residents and owners to create equitable housing outcomes. Serving on this board aligns with my professional commitment to housing justice and my civic interest in thoughtful, balanced local governance.
Educational background, Schools Attended, Degrees and Certifications I hold a Master's Degree in Business Administration (MBA) from California State University, Fresno, which I completed in May 2014. Prior to that, I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in June 2006.
Briefly explain your qualifications or areas of demonstrated expertise for this board or commission.
I have over 10 years of experience in affordable housing development, including managing complex real estate projects for public agencies and nonprofit developers. In my current role as a Senior Project Manager with Self-Help Enterprises, I work across nine counties to structure financing, coordinate with local governments, and ensure long-term housing affordability. I also serve on the City of Fresno's District 1 Project Review Committee, where I review development proposals with an emphasis on community impact and land use compatibility. My expertise includes housing policy, rent stabilization, community engagement, and balancing the needs of residents and property owners.
