About
I started my career at DePaul Properties in Rochester, New York as a leasing specialist, where I had the opportunity to work directly with a diverse group of residents in DePaul's affordable and supportive housing programs. I joined the affordable housing development team as a grant writer, and most recently as the development and grants manager focusing on funding for multifamily affordable and supportive housing programs. I was also responsible for the broader organization's grant strategy, including grant writing and management for a wide range of services and programs.I hold a Master's degree in Public Administration with a concentration in Non-Profit Management from SUNY Brockport and a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Tulane University in New Orleans.
