Kristen first became active in the affordable housing arena in 1999, managing an 80 unit Tax Credit property in the San Joaquin Valley.  She soon transitioned into the role of Compliance Specialist, overseeing a portfolio of Tax Credit properties that spanned the West Coast & Alaska.

She obtained her CA Real Estate license in 2014, then joined the fight to reverse displacement in the Bay Area as a Sales Agent with IMPACT in 2017. There, she represented non profit affordable housing providers in their purchase of 24 unique buildings, leading to the stabilization of 260 households.  Kristen had the great honor to join the SFCLT staff in 2023, and obtained her CA Broker’s license in 2024.

During her 20 years in San Francisco, she’s lived in the (mid)Richmond, Tenderloin, and Nob Hill neighborhoods, but her work in housing has allowed her the benefit of traveling everywhere across the 7X7.  Her love for San Francisco and the people who make it so very special runs even deeper than the fault line upon which it sits.
