Nick supports the preservation and development of affordable housing opportunities in the Fenway neighborhood. Since 2020 he has managed the development of Burbank Terrace, the CDC’s first ground-up new development in two decades. He believes passionately in safe and affordable housing as a right for all, and having grown up in Cambridge has seen how many people have been priced out of living in the Greater Boston area. He holds a master’s degree in urban and environmental policy and planning from Tufts University and a bachelor’s in economics from Reed College. Before graduate school, he served in the Peace Corps as a community and youth development volunteer in Armenia and worked in economic consulting for a variety of government clients, including the U.S. Department of Justice and Environmental Protection Agency.
