About Kayla Simon

Hello! I am a soon-to-be December 2023 graduate of the Masters of Public Affairs Program at the Lyndon B. Johnson School at the University of Texas at Austin. My prior professional experience includes working with elected officials, primarily in local government, where my responsibilities included drafting policies related to land use, transportation, public health and the city budget. In addition, I have gained extensive project management experience in land use and zoning for commercial and multifamily real estate within the Austin metro area, and I possess a comprehensive understanding of the local government process. I am seeking opportunities that pertain to my urban planning and land use project management experience in both public and private sectors. Furthermore, I am interested in expanding my skill set in the field of real estate financing, whether through economic development or via the private sector. I am eager to broaden my network and share further details regarding my experience.
