Interests & Experiences
WHY YOU WANT TO SERVE ON A CITY BOARD OR COMMISSION:

I enjoy dedicating my time to serving my community, most recently as a Riverside County Civil Grand Juror and Human Relations Commissioner. Prior to that I worked for a nonprofit that served residents throughout the County with a variety of programs. Boards and commissions have a major role to play in ensuring the best quality of life for our community, as well as robust civic health.

EXPERIENCE OR SPECIAL KNOWLEDGE PERTAINING TO AREA(S) OF INTEREST:

During eight years of service on the Human Relations Commission, and now on the Riverside County Grand Jury, I am becoming familiar with many aspects of City and County organization and function. On the Grand Jury our focus is on researching and assessing government agencies and their functions throughout the County, including investigating complaints and possible unethical behavior. As a certified mediator for the CAP Riverside Dispute Resolution Center, I was adept at listening to all parties impartially, analyzing the issue, and helping them reach a resolution. One of my particular strengths is working collaboratively with people professionally, compassionately, and impartially.

EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND:

M.A. Communications, CSUSB; Certificate Program Professional Writing CSUSB; B.A. Geography UCR OCCUPATIONAL EXPERIENCE:

See the description under EXPERIENCE OR SPECIAL KNOWLEDGE and my attached resume. In summary, my professional career has been in working with the public, elected officials, agencies, and organizations to gather and analyze complex information, make decisions, and be fully responsible for the outcomes.

Interests & Experiences
WHY YOU WANT TO SERVE ON A CITY BOARD OR COMMISSION:

I wish to serve on a City Board/Commission, as Riverside is where my family and I have made our home.

We love our City, and we want it to continue to grow and prosper in a positive direction. City government plays a critical role in this. I believe I can contribute to the City, as I have nearly half a century of experience in the public sector.

EXPERIENCE OR SPECIAL KNOWLEDGE PERTAINING TO AREA(S) OF INTEREST:

I worked at the State level for eight years (Colorado) and was heavily involved with the legislature and Governor while with the Colorado Commission on Higher Education and the State Community College Board. I have led investigations regarding cases of fraud and assertions relative to ethical breakdowns. As I have been in senior level positions for virtually my entire career, I have had a unique opportunity to see the importance of ethics and to ensure that we proceeded in an ethical manner. Along the way, I saw individuals who engaged in unethical acts and the damage that ensued. Thus, my interest is in the Board of Ethics. In our representative form of government, trust between city government and the community is imperative. The degree to which the community trusts its City government depends on the public's perception of the ethical standards of that government. I believe I can bring an experiential background to the Board that will contribute to the maintenance of trust within our City.

EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND:
