Explain why you would like to serve on this Board/Committee/Commission
For over 12 years, in my professional and personal capacity, I have advocated for
Land Banks and their purpose within Oakland County and the State of Michigan,
which is to repurpose underutilized properties. The repurposing of these properties
can result in the improvement of the community as a place while also enhancing the
local tax base. It is an Authority that can truly make a difference for communities
throughout Oakland County. As set forth in my resume, I help create and manage a
nonprofit in the City of Hazel Park that acquired properties in a manner similar to a
land bank and repurposed those properties. The organization, Cities for Urban
Revitalization & Enhancement (d/b/a Land CURE) helped rehabilitate over 70 tax
delinquent homes. The homes were sold to owner occupants that helped improve
Hazel Park's tax base. The organization worked closely with the Oakland County
Treasurer. I believe in the work Land Bank's can accomplish in a community and
have experience operating an organization similar to a Land Bank. Thank you for
your consideration.
Have you previously served on a Board/Committee/Commission?
Yes
Please list which Board/Committee/Commission and the Corresponding Term Dates
Other than the Oakland County Land Bank, I served on the Berkley Planning
Commission for approximately 1 year, before moving out of Berkley in 2020. I served
on the the Planning Commission from 7/23/2019 to 10/27/2020.
Please detail any prior work-related or community service experience and skills that may
contribute to the position you are seeking:
As noted previously, I served as a policy fellow for amending state land bank
legislation. I also co-founded a nonprofit, Land CURE, that acted similar to a land
bank in the City of Hazel Park.

community service, and certain alcohol related classes. I was released early from
probation in September 21, 2015. In September of 2022, the court expunged this
conviction.
Have you ever been named a party in one or more civil lawsuits?
Yes
Please list those lawsuits, the court, nature of the lawsuit(s) and disposition:
