Housing Action Coalition✓ EndorsesAbout Phoebe Shin Venkat
I’m a champion for Foster City’s values of being sustainable, smart, and inclusive. My husband Shawn, son Shai, and I are proud to call Foster City our home since we moved here in 2014.
I bring a lot to the table, including my expertise in community building, communications, and collaboration on behalf of global companies across several industries. As a first-generation Chinese American, and the first person in my working-class family to graduate from college, I’m grounded in the values of strength, resilience, and community.
