Tasha

I am the senior property manager and oversee all the properties for Claretian Associates. I have been here 2 years and have been working in property management and real estate for the past 25 years. I am currently in a master’s degree program in public administration at Governors State University and have been for the past year. My goals are to work in policy design and development around affordable housing to make the process of accessing assistance easier for recipients, as opposed to easier for the administrators. You have all these folks being paid a lot to administer assistance and the benefits aren’t trickling down. I get the joy of being able to provide assistance to people who wouldn’t be able to get it elsewhere. I get to bring about change instead of talking about it--by enhancing the quality of life.

I do have glasses but because I have astigmatism everything's blurry. If I had contacts I would be able to see for school and work and for driving. More
