Tina was born in Ottawa, Canada, and grew up in cities across California and Canada. Before Princeton, she worked on the Housing and Community Development team at the National League of Cities, focused on eviction prevention and housing research. She served as the data lead for the Eviction Prevention Learning Lab and manager of the Landlord Engagement Lab, two technical assistance programs launched in partnership with Stanford Law School’s Legal Design Lab for cities to identify best practices, programs, policies and tools to prevent evictions and advance housing stability. Tina also managed several research projects on short-term rentals and a joint research project with Cornell University to study the impact of institutional investors on housing and to identify promising local policy responses. Prior to coming to Princeton, Tina enjoyed working on passion projects which involved, you guessed it, more housing work and spending time traveling through Central Europe. This summer, Tina interned as a Fellow at the New York City Mayor's Office. After graduating, Tina plans to continue working in housing, particularly on translating housing research into policy action and addressing the financialization of housing. In her free time, Tina enjoys hiking, cooking, knitting, and pottery.
