YIMBY Action✓ EndorsesAbout Yara Zokaie
I am a first generation Iranian American. Growing up with immigrant parents, I quickly learned the value of hard work and the importance of community. I was raised in a small rural town. I certainly stood out, but I am lucky I had a family to lean on to get through the challenging times.
I attended law school at University of San Diego School of Law, and worked three jobs while maintaining my GPA. I was the youngest member of my graduating class at the age of 23.
After law school, I was lucky to be accepted to a prestigious tax program on scholarship and received my masters in taxation. I have built my career practicing tax law - representing individuals and small businesses against the IRS and Colorado Department of Revenue.
I currently serve as the Chief Deputy Assessor for Larimer County.
