Me In A Nutshell
I'm a Los Angeles-based Urban Planner & Real Estate Broker. As a planner, my current focus is on land use law, regulation and enforcement throughout Los Angeles County. As a Broker Associate at Prudential California Realty, I assist individuals, families and investors find, lease and buy homes, as well as commercial spaces. My passion for the built environment is endless-- among other things, I care about economic development, sustainable urban design and preservation, environmental and social justice, public health, and affordable housing. Most importantly, I strive to improve the communities I work with my planning and real estate expertise.  

Y Un Poquito Mas...
I hold degrees from Cornell, UCLA and abroad, and enjoy sports and traveling. I also like to write, and do so regularly at L.A. Unveiled, my personal blog on local culture and lifestyle in Los Angeles. (More writing samples here.) Other recent hobbies include running, working out, sewing and cooking. I love wine, chocolate, and food in general. :) I've lived, studied and worked in several countries including the U.S., Mexico, Spain, France, Germany, South Africa, India and Japan, and have visited about 33 countries in all. I've studied German, French and Japanese, and am fully bilingual in Spanish. 

Volunteer Work & Experience
I have volunteered at countless organizations in the U.S. and abroad over the years (USAID, PEPY, Habitat for Humanity, HAC, City of L.A. Planetizen, etc.) and was always active in student government. Currently, I am a member of the Los Angeles Conservancy, and volunteer on their Modern Committee, also leading their 'Modern Skyline' tour as a docent about once a month. I am also involved with the Cornell Club of Los Angeles.
