My focus
My practice focuses on various aspects of real estate development, including acquisition, financing, and disposition of affordable housing properties.

Looking ahead
As affordable housing remains critical for communities and the overall economy, owners and developers continue to look for innovative and cost-effective ways to build and preserve affordable housing. Policymakers are proposing and employing creative solutions to increase affordable housing projects. I look forward to helping owners and developers navigate and benefit from policies that expand the affordable housing inventory.
