As the Deputy Director of the Downtown Development Authority for Hamtramck and the Economic Recovery Coordinator for the city, I am dedicated to fostering economic development and growth. My focus is on creating immediate and long-term strategies that uplift our community and make Hamtramck a vibrant place for everyone.One of my proudest achievements is launching Discover Hamtramck, a social-first campaign designed to promote our city's unique businesses and cultural assets. In just a few months, we have built a community of over 10,000 followers, highlighting the incredible diversity and entrepreneurial spirit that define Hamtramck.I have experience in start-ups, government, and research, all of which have provided me with a well-rounded perspective on urban development and economic strategy. Outside of my professional roles, I am deeply interested in design and craftsmanship. My furniture-making project allows me to explore form and purpose, blending my love for hands-on work with my passion for aesthetic and functional design.
