Please tell us how your qualifications and participation will relate to the requested board and/or commission's mission.
I am applying for the vacancy on the Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board at the City of Oakland, and I am confident that my qualifications for this role merit your consideration.
My
work experience, training, and bachelor’s degree in Anthropology and minor in GIS have provided me with a versatile foundation in many aspects. I have a strong background in preservation practices and anthropological thought, as well as a multi-faceted perspective on how inferential and computational thinking can be applied to better analyze data to understand real-world phenomena.
I currently work for the City of Berkeley as an Assistant Planner in the Land Use Planning Division, serving as one of two historic preservation planners at the City. I manage a variety of current development projects and discretionary projects related to historic properties, including initiations of properties for listing on the City’s local register, Mills Act Contract applications, proposals to demolish buildings over forty years old, major rehabilitation projects, and exterior alterations and additions to existing historic properties.
In addition to assessing moderate-to-large scale projects, I administer the City’s Certified Local Government and Mills Act Contract programs participation, conduct Section 106 review, and serve as the Clerk to the City of Berkeley’s Landmarks Preservation Commission.
Prior to my current role as an Assistant Planner, I
worked for the City of Berkeley as the Historic Preservation Intern in the Land Use Planning Division. I supported the Landmarks Commission Secretary with preparing for monthly meetings, recorded public comment and action minutes, maintained the City’s GIS layer of historic resources, and fielded applications proposing alterations to historic properties to determine compliance with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards, Landmarks Preservation Ordinance and applicable General Plan policies.
In addition to my experience
with the City of Berkeley, I worked as a GIS Consultant for a Land Management Planning Agency. Using the process of aerial photointerpretation I digitized recreational routes and point site data for a variety of land use planning projects on Bureau Land Management (BLM) land. Once these routes were digitized I worked to identify reclaiming routes that could be used to better manage public access and ensure proper habitat rehabilitation on BLM land.
Throughout my experience in land use planning and preservation my appreciation for each step of the planning process has continued to grow. I am fascinated by the ability to utilize preservation tools and practices to collaborate with community members, professionals and organizations, to better understand the social and cultural patterns that shape a community’s unique history and built environment. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to discuss the ways in which I could serve the City of Oakland and the preservation community. Please feel free to contact me directly at any time. In the meantime, thank you for your time and consideration.
