Executive Director
As I firmly believe, poverty stands as the number one adversary to community well-being. The battle against poverty begins with land ownership and strategic development.
Real Estate Development and Community Networking hold the potential to cultivate opportunities that can uplift communities. Regrettably, the lack of Affordable Housing often derails these opportunities, leading to community isolation, limited access to transportation, quality education, healthcare, and perpetuating food deserts. Over the past two decades, I have leveraged my diverse background as a Real Estate Broker, Title Insurance owner, and Community and Real Estate Developer to bring innovative solutions to complex issues surrounding Affordable Housing, Access to Health and Wellness, Career Development, Education, and Recreation. My experience has allowed me to consult for various Organizations, Non-Profits, and Municipalities, providing me with invaluable insights and resources.
I am convinced that it is time to bring my experiences in these critical areas to Community Reach to spearhead a Statewide initiative against poverty.
