Tapping into more than two decades of experience in commercial real estate lending, Jacqueline works across the country with banks, collaboratives, policymakers and nonprofit partners to fund affordable housing, advocate for low-income families and advance Enterprise’s vision of making communities places of pride, power and belonging.
