Lashandra Eison

Lashandra Eison serves as Program Director of her affordable housing business, which she founded two years ago in 2022 to address housing barriers in Chicago by offering shared independent living options. She manages daily operations including property checks, resident move-ins, agency outreach, and expansion efforts. Eison also works part-time in healthcare as a coordinator, leveraging her teletech certification to monitor cardiac telemetry. She earned her Master's in Business Administration in 2024 and Bachelor's in Business Administration with Technologies and Management in 2023 from American Intercontinental University. Previously, she was Senior Operations Manager at a rental car company and supported high-risk patients in hospital environments. She maintains partnerships with hospitals such as St. Bernard Hospital and Provident Hospital for referrals. Eison attributes her success to her own determination and her children, particularly her daughter as motivation to pursue education and entrepreneurship while parenting. She advises young women entering the field to have passion for helping others, run their business independently, and believe all goals are achievable with focus. Her values center on logical thinking, self-respect, and an army-bound mindset instilled by her father.
