Greetings!
Fall is here, and PCSD has some exciting updates to share. We've welcomed a dynamic duo, Esteban Martinez and Laura Ramirez-Avalos, to our Northern California office for an 8-week internship. Learn more about these bright interns and our partnership with Lighthouse Community Public Schools below.
In other news, after years of planning, we couldn't be happier to stand alongside Voices College-Bound Language Academies at the groundbreaking ceremony for their brand-new campus in Morgan Hill. Huge congratulations to Voices for this remarkable achievement!
Our mission in Texas is going strong. We recently celebrated the ribbon cutting of RYSS's new early learning center in Pasadena. It's another step forward in expanding educational opportunities.
Plus, our team is on the move, actively participating in career fairs with our charter school partners. We love spreading the word about the exciting opportunities available in the real estate development field.
Stay tuned for more updates, and as always, feel free to reach out with any questions or ideas.
Warmly,
John Sun

OUR PEOPLE
PCSD at LA Promise Material Arts Career Fair
PCSD had an amazing time at LA Promise’s Material Arts Career Fair! Two members of our LA team, Kahlmus Eatman, COO, and Mera Baker Ramos, General Counsel, were thrilled to meet with high school students and introduce them to the exciting world of real estate development. They had some great conversations about the diverse career opportunities within our industry, and we're so impressed by the curiosity and passion of these young minds.
PCSD at Lighthouse Job Fair
PCSD was thrilled to participate in Lighthouse Community Public Schools' job fair. Jennifer Afdahl Rice, Executive Director, Northern California, shared insights into the world of real estate development. Jennifer emphasized the array of opportunities in this field, catering to individuals from various backgrounds and skill sets, whether you're starting at the entry level or aiming for the C-suite. The high school students had some intriguing questions, from the daily life of a professional to salary expectations, but the most inspiring one was whether this was Jennifer's lifelong dream. She shared her journey, revealing that her passion for economic development as a way of supporting the community was ignited during her junior year in college. It was a fantastic day of exploration and inspiration!
