Community Advocate: During COVID, I campaigned for additional children's play areas in Fremont while working with City officials like our elected council member and the Senior Landscape Architect/Parks Planning, while mobilizing residents. This project was included in the 2022 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) process. I was able to highlight the problem, provide a solution and work with city council plus other departments and the community to get it resolved. I’ve also served as VP of Communications on Fremont public school PTA, representing parents and teachers. 

Public-private partnership experience: In the private sector, I've experience on smart city projects partnering with major tech companies, giving me valuable insights into state and city government operations & working with key partners for modernizing city infrastructure to make them future-proof. My global experience across USA, UK, Europe and Asia-Pacific provides a balanced perspective on local priorities and international competitiveness. I've worked with various economic development teams across states to negotiate incentives, tax benefits and select locations for new tech centers, creating hundreds of jobs. This hands-on experience will help attract investments to Fremont. Additionally, I've participated in city ambassador programs, fostering public-private partnerships to drive regional prosperity and innovation. I’ve worked with public-private economic development organizations at a state level which are focused on attracting new jobs and investments by promoting business strengths. This gave me hands-on experience of working with foundations with diverse group of statewide leaders, departments of Economic Development, state officials, city officials and various economic development agencies.

I've also initiated programs to train and place American graduates with tech degrees who are working in non-tech jobs like pizza delivery & lawn mowing, helping them transition into tech careers.
