For the past eight years, Vicky has been a major contribution to Restore Neighborhoods, LA, Inc. (RNLA) a non-profit organization based in Downtown Los Angeles. Vicky has overseen the acquisition and disposition coordination, construction administration and compliance of over 250 projects and help facilitate an investment of more than $140M into local Los Angeles neighborhoods.
Vicky is eager to take on new challenges and help as many people as possible through affordable homeownership and now with the addition of Homeless Housing and Supportive Housing projects in RNLA’s pipeline, Vicky is even more excited to contribute to the successful completion of these projects.
She began her career in construction administration at just nineteen years old when she began working for Parsons on a bench contract with Gateway Science and Engineering positioned at Los Angeles Mission College. Since then, Vicky has transitioned to other organizations, gaining more experience and knowledge along the way. Vicky has also gained a greater satisfaction with knowing that her contribution is helping others whether it be through community revitalization or affordable homeownership to help providing homeless and supportive housing. Once Vicky began working at RNLA she knew she was “home”. Vicky is a strong advocate for what her non-profit organization is doing for Los Angeles and she is eager to be more of an asset to the company.
Vicky is so efficient at her job that she considers herself a quick learner with a passion to do more and better. Because of her skills, Vicky can be the effective support for many projects while being a friendly contact to keep for any questions or concerns for new homeowners to new partners and contractors. Vicky takes great pride for the work she is helping RNLA do and is extremely grateful for all the people she has and will be helping with the upcoming projects in RNLA’s pipeline.
More than her position at RNLA, Vicky is also effective at persuading and influencing high-ranking individuals. Her opinions are highly valued, people trust and respect her judgments. Vicky earned a degree in Business Administration from National University and is currently completing her Master’s degree. Vicky is eager to participate in and complete training opportunities and earn certifications that would add to her role in RNLA and in real estate, construction administration, and accounting.
