Born and raised in the suburbs of Chicago, Nina did a full tour of the southwest and south for college and graduate school before landing in Philadelphia - a city she never thought she would live in - 24 years ago. Now proud to call herself a Philadelphian, she has been providing housing, community, and economic development services for the last 25+ years to clients across the country at the neighborhood, city, county, regional, and state levels.
Nina has worked extensively with housing and financial programs, economic development policies and initiatives, and physical and human capital planning. Her diversity of experience provides her with an overarching perspective that grasps the linkages between residents’ interest, local community and economic initiatives, and larger governmental policies and programs. Through interactive community outreach designed to meaningfully engage residents and stakeholders, she has facilitated the development of community-driven plans that resonate with the local community. The foundation of Nina’s success is grounded in delivering high-quality, in-depth and specialized services to a select number of clients.
