Please state the reason(s) you would like to serve on this legislative body.

I seek to continue being on the Sacramento Housing and
Redevelopment Commission and a staunch advocate for the residents of Sacramento County that may not know how to voice their concerns and opinions to the entities that make the decisions for the betterment of its residents, in regards to "Low-Low Income Housing", Low Income Housing, as well as expressing fair-minded views for the betterment of all Sacramento County residents in regards to Public Housing.

Please list all of your professional experience directly related to the seat you are applying for.

I am currently on both the City of Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Commission and the Planning and Design
Commission, both Commissions offer a robust insight to
Housing Redevelopment and New Housing Development.

Please list any training or education directly related to the seat you are applying for.

I am a graduate of the Sacramento Citizen's Planning

Please state the reason(s) you would like to serve on this legislative body.

I'm interested in serving on the SHRA Commission because I care about the work that SHRA does and believe I offer a unique and informed perspective that can assist SHRA in its mission. In my professional capacity, I'm a housing justice advocate and work directly on state policy relating to
affordable housing and fair housing. I'm committed to
ensuring that programs to provide housing assistance are implemented in a manner that is equitable and targeted to the communities in most need. Sacramento, like many other communities, experienced redlining that created
unacceptable disparities in housing access. The work that SHRA does is critical because it narrows that gap by making access to housing more achievable for communities that
have been historically denied safe and reliable housing opportunities. I care deeply about ensuring that all people have a safe and secure place to call home. Serving on the SHRA Commission would allow me to use my knowledge and
experience in housing law and policy to help make that a reality.

Please list all of your professional experience directly related to the seat you are applying for.

I currently work in housing policy at the state level in my role as Legislative Counsel with Public Advocates, a nonprofit law firm and advocacy organization that challenges the systemic causes of poverty and racial discrimination. Through that work, I have helped craft state housing legislation, testified before legislative committees on fair housing legislation, provided feedback to the Department of Housing and
Community Development on the implementation of housing
laws (including California's landmark affirmatively furthering fair housing law), and worked with stakeholders, such as tenants and nonprofit developers, in statewide housing
coalitions.

Please list any training or education directly related to the seat you are applying for.

I am very familiar with land use and housing-related law, including federal programs administered through SHRA,
through my professional work. I have attended various legal webinars and trainings on current issues relating to housing, and continue to do so on an ongoing basis. I'm also a
graduate of the Sacramento Housing Alliance's Boards and Commissions Leadership Institute (BLCI).

Please list any additional experience, community
activities, volunteering experience, or other
qualifications that would be helpful in evaluating your application.

I currently serve on the board of several local nonprofits, including the Marshall-New Era Neighborhood Association, Organize Sacramento, and Cien Amigos. I am very active in the community and have been involved in numerous local
service-oriented and issue-oriented events or volunteer Contact Information
