Mading Jackson – University of California, Berkeley
Mading Jackson is a second-year MBA candidate at the University of California, Berkeley. At Berkeley, he is actively involved with the Fisher Center for Real Estate and Urban Economics and real estate-related programming as Co-President of the Berkeley Real Estate Club. Prior to entering the MBA program at UC Berkeley, Mading worked on the Investments team at Oxford Properties Group in New York City where he played an integral role in the underwriting, due diligence, and execution of private equity and credit investment transactions.
This summer, Mading is interning on the Development team at The Related Companies in San Francisco. He is looking forward to working as a real estate developer where he can get hands-on experience working on a wide variety of development projects and wearing many different hats. It is through these experiences that he wants to learn how to invest in the responsible revitalization that drives economic lifeblood into urban communities long overlooked by traditional investors. In the long run, Mading would like to use real estate as a tool to bridge societal gaps and provide necessary stability to those that have experienced the unsettling pain of displacement, through projects that are both commercially viable and socially beneficial.
Mading holds a bachelor’s degree in Economics from Vanderbilt University.
Hang Nguyen – Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corporation
Hang Nguyen serves as an Assistant Project Manager at Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corporation (TNDC). Her primary focus lies in the rehabilitation of TNDC’s historical properties within their portfolio to safeguard and maintain affordable housing units in San Francisco. Prior to her tenure with TNDC, Hang Nguyen played a crucial role in launching the Keys to Equity program at Richmond Neighborhood Housing Services. This initiative aimed to support homeowners in the Oakland area by facilitating the construction of new accessory dwelling units in their backyards. Hang Nguyen’s academic background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Political Economy from the University of California, Berkeley.
Revati Rajwade – University of California, Berkeley
Revati Rajwade is a student at the Master of Real Estate Development and Design (MRED+D) program at UC Berkeley’s College of Environmental Design. She received her undergraduate degree in architecture from India. After several years of work experience in the architecture and real estate industry in India, Revati joined the MRED+D program to augment her skillset and gain a holistic understanding of real estate development and its financial aspects. She has managed a diverse portfolio of residential, commercial, mixed-use, and healthcare projects, prior to moving to the Bay Area.
Post MRED+D, Revati aims to enhance functionality, sustainability and ensure equitable development. Through her work solutions, she wants to break the industry belief that design sensitivity and financial feasibility cannot be achieved together. At this time of crisis, when the world is at the cusp of a change, she is thrilled to be an esteemed fellow of a prestigious organization that has the power to be heard, a mechanism to positively influence policies, and the willingness to bring about a change.
