Serving as the primary liaison between residents and the PSP team, I facilitate access to resources and support services to address property-related concerns and prevent displacement. My responsibilities include conducting intake assessments, coordinating maintenance efforts, and providing ongoing assistance to residents throughout the application process. I conduct routine neighborhood walk-throughs, participate in community meetings, and serve as an ambassador for both the Carrick Community Council and the Hilltop Alliance. With a focus on internal organization and effective communication, I ensure timely documentation of property-related actions and maximize team coordination through internal databases and project management software.
