Real Estate Adventures and Beyond

I am a second generation Chinese American with a fierce passion and advocacy for people denied affordable housing opportunities due to disparities created by racial and economic segregation. As a child growing up in a desegregated, racially mixed school during the 1970s and 80s, I traveled by bus through densely populated neighborhoods of working-class families that were in stark contrast to the predominantly white middle-class neighborhood where my family and I lived. This upbringing led to my initial interest in investment counseling where I could play an instrumental role in narrowing the racial wealth gap. From financial services I moved to the affordable housing industry.  

I believe in building community power through education, outreach and engagement. I have experience creating and leading educational workshops for first-time homeowners. I actively engage with residents by serving as their trusted advisor and consultant. As a former financial consultant and licensed California property and casualty insurance agent, I know how to conduct financial and insurance reviews, including financial audits. I possess a keen eye for detail and I demonstrate unwavering accuracy and thoroughness in my work. I have strong communication skills and financial acumen. I work well under pressure and can produce high-quality work in a fast-paced environment.
