As a real estate representative with over 15 years of experience, I manage property rentals by advertising and filling vacancies, negotiating and enforcing leases, and maintaining and securing premises. I also establish rental rates by surveying local rental rates and calculating overhead costs, depreciation, taxes, and profit goals. I have a master's degree in public administration with a focus on city and county management, and a minor in business law.I am passionate about helping cities effectively brand themselves as being business friendly and promoting economic development. In my capstone project for my MPA program, I researched ways to win the LAEDC Most Business Friendly Cities Award and other similar recognitions. I also have experience in fundraising, strategic communications, and political campaigns, and I am fluent in English and Spanish. I am dedicated to the enrichment and improvement of marginalized communities through education, bridge building, and outreach programs.
