"Collaborating with partners in the private, public and non-profit spaces to leverage the built environment to improve opportunity for marginalized people is what drives my work."

We are living at the intersection of several existential crises staring us squarely in the face.

The national housing crisis requires continued action at the federal, state and local levels to allow for the production of more affordable housing and we need to be vigilant to ensure that racial equity is at the forefront of those solutions.

We know that the climate crisis could not be more urgent and does not impact communities equally.

The pandemic has accelerated necessary cultural shifts with respect to how employers engage their employees.

The stability of US society rests on its ability to truly reckon with its foundation of colonization and oppression.

“We have deluded ourselves into believing the myth that capitalism grew in prosperity out of the Protestant ethic of hard work and sacrifice. The fact is that capitalism was built on the exploitation and suffering of black slaves and continues to thrive on the exploitation of the poor, both black and white, both here and abroad.”

—Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., "The Three Evils of Society" speech, National Conference for New Politics, 1967

This is the moment where the most creative minds will move us forward towards a vision where economic prosperity and equity are not mutually exclusive. A vision that allows all individuals to live healthy, inspired lives. Let us be intentional about how we use our power and privilege to make a positive impact in our communities..
