Housing Design & Construction
At Cottage, I work with an incredible team of architects and operators driven to help solve housing affordability by making it easier to build an accessory dwelling unit (ADU).
We work with single parents, retirees, and property investors - all of whom have one thing in common: Big or small, they want to be part of the solution to California's housing crisis, finding creative ways to build more housing for more people. For some, those people are loved ones, aging parents or immigrating siblings. For others, they're strangers who need an affordable lease. No matter what, they know that more beds will help more people live long, healthy, and successful lives.

Housing Design & Construction
As a college senior, I ran for Ann Arbor City Council against a four-term incumbent. I went door-to-door every day and spoke with nearly 4,000 households. When I won, I collaborated with constituents and experts to develop infrastructure and policy that serves all residents, regardless of income and zip code.
At the City of Ann Arbor, I served on the governing board, overseeing a $480 million budget and 750 employees. In this capacity, I also represented a diverse constituency of 25,000 residents who live in 17 distinct neighborhoods.
Through my service, I led our booming, Midwestern city to push forward dozens of progressive strategies. Among these initiatives, I was most proud to launch Ann Arbor's largest-ever program to construct new affordable housing. In this process, I led the city to acquire developable land and implement large-scale zoning reforms.

Management Consulting
At Denison Consulting, a global human capital analytics firm, I developed a track record of high-performance and promotion. I served on the senior leadership team, overseeing the business development group and reporting directly to the firm’s partners.
As a leader and team member, I made my expectations clear, provided active coaching, and offered personal vulnerability to build trust. In service of clients, I developed close professional relationships with C-level executives in enterprise-size companies and senior staff at federal agencies.
Through this work, I performed and presented complex analyses and led cross-functional teams to transform organizations. Beyond individual clients, I spearheaded a number of critical initiatives, such as the launch of a COVID-related analytics package and a digital transformation consulting solution.
