As the Affordable Housing + Equity Manager, Lea works with the Critical Buildings Team to support ILFI’s Affordable Housing Program through stakeholder engagement, resource creation, research, and education. Lea’s commitment to creating a regenerative built environment is deeply informed by her background as an architect from the Philippines. She was first introduced to sustainable design through her work with a Manila-based non-profit dedicated to advancing modern bamboo construction systems as a low-carbon alternative for the country’s affordable housing sector. Prior to joining ILFI, Lea spent two years consulting on Passive House projects and designing sustainable affordable housing in the Pacific Northwest.
