Strategies that connect people, places, and possibilities.
I partner with developers and civic stakeholders to lead complex urban projects, work within public approval frameworks, and advance initiatives that strengthen long-term neighborhood vitality.
About
With over 15 years of experience across affordable housing, market-rate residential development, and master-planned communities in San Francisco and Downtown Los Angeles, I have guided projects through planning approvals, coordinated multidisciplinary teams, and delivered results in highly regulated urban markets.
I am often brought in when a project needs alignment and forward clarity — someone who can translate complexity into a defined path and ensure steady, accountable execution.
Development Leadership
Urban Development Strategy
Advising and leading residential and mixed-use projects through entitlement processes, stakeholder coordination, and implementation planning.
Public Systems & Regulatory Coordination
Operating effectively within city and state approval environments — aligning consultants, agencies, and internal teams to maintain progress and reduce friction.
Community-Integrated Initiatives
Supporting workforce pathways, small business resilience, and placemaking strategies that integrate economic opportunity with thoughtful urban growth.
Civic Engagement
I serve on the board of the Cole Valley Improvement Association and support One Treasure Island, contributing to efforts that strengthen local businesses, expand workforce pathways, and support resilient neighborhood ecosystems.
I am particularly interested in development models that integrate housing, creative production space, and enduring cultural infrastructure within urban neighborhoods.
