Both a talented architect and dedicated advocate of affordable housing, Ms. Dias is rooted in the Bay Area housing community.

A natural leader in group situations, Theresa has developed an expertise of working in partnership with clients, professional consultants, and contractors. Her great strength is in collaborating with all parties and keeping an eye on the big picture, while still keeping track of details; teams always run more efficiently when Theresa is on board.
