Her prior role as Chicago Recovery Plan Director at the Chicago Department of Planning and Development honed her skills in equitable policy implementation, where she was pivotal in distributing grants fairly across diverse program initiatives aimed at rejuvenating Chicago's economy. With a team of 19 and numerous agency contracts under her supervision, Nina was instrumental in founding a data management team, setting new benchmarks for evaluating the impact of economic policies on equality.
