Questions Attachment
1. Please elaborate on your experience, background, trainingo education, and interests, that you believe make you a strong candidate? I have always believed in community.
Strong communities are the pillars of a thriving, productive society. This belief stems from my adolescent years growing up in a low socio-economic household. As a frrst-generation college student navigating my undergraduate and graduate academic journey with very little family support, I leaned on the college community and my faith to be successful. I learned the value of community and the importance of providing a structure for others to be successful. Shortly thereafter, I entered the workforce as a children's social worker for the Department of Children's Services and landed various administrative positions in the nonprofit sector. While completing my first doctorate degree, I worked as a Professor of Sociology. It is there that I found my love for civic engagement, advocacy, teaching, and inspiring our nation's filture leaders. While I have been a professor ofSociology for over 13 years, I have held several executive roles within higher education, including executive director at college resource center and district director for nine college campuses.
As a district administrator, I designed and implemented strategic partnerships and success initiatives and programs. I managed large budgets and collaborated with public officials and senior executives in the public and private sectors to build sustainable programs and initials.
I believe my education, personal, and professional portfolio makes me a strong candidate for Commissioner because they bring a perspective and leadership experience that aligns with the City of Torrance's mission and values.
2. What do you see as the objectives and goals of the commission? I see the objectives and goals of the Civil Service Commission - oversees the plans to fill positions, reviews new and revised job descriptions. I believe the Civil Service commissioner makes critical decisions regarding the employee selection process performance evaluations and disciplinary actions. I believe that includes developing and improving plans for the city and the city workers that are aligned the city, state, and federal mandates while ensuring the city's residents' needs are being met.
Three objectives are:
l. Collaborate with the employees relations committee and other stakeholders.
2. Review all new and revised job descriptions.
3. Review current standard performancvole, evaluation and disciplinary process Three goals
l. To improve the city's effrciency in programing for city employment
2. To ensure new and revised job descriptions meet mandates
3. To streamline the employee selection process to ensure it is efficient modernized.
3. How would you help achieve the objectives and goals of the commission you're applying for? What special qualities can you bring to the commission?
I would improve the objectives and goals of the Civil Service Commission by collaborating with the other members of the commission to ensure the goals and objectives are aligned with the Citys Charter. ::Ð-

I am currcntly completing my eighth year on the Commission on Aging, wtrere I have devetoped expertise in collaborative decision-making, policy developmenl and strategic planning--essential skills for codributing effectively in this role. Through hands-on involvernent, I have successfully navigated complex challenges, ensuring that policies and initiatives serve the best interests of the community.
For the past ten years, I have served as Chair of the CivicAffairs Committee at NewHorizons South Bay, an independent senior community. In this role, I have worked closely with city personnel, various commissions, and City Council members to organize workshops and events that address key issues affecting seniors. Additionall¡ I actively volunteer with organizations suoh as Focal Point on Aging, Taking Time, and the Volunteer Center. I have confibutcd to programs like Meals on Wheels, South Bay Village, and the Torrance lllr,lCA.

Please elaborate on your orperlence, bacþround, tralnlng and lnterests, that you believe make you a strong candidate?
I previously worked as a Job Developer for the Torrance Unified School District. I worked wlth high school students and adults with developmentaldlsabilities. My work included finding job placements for my clients to learn Job skllls. I taught employment ski¡ls such as job searching, resume wrlting, lnterview skills, dress for success and filling out applications. I placed students in jobs throughout the community that I located for them, with their salaries paid for by two grarìts, one with the Department of Vocational Rehabllitation, a federalgrant and Workabillty 1- a state grant - with the goalof finding permanent ernployrnent. Worked with Harbor RegionalCenter and Easter Seals to help with the success of my clients, I found my work to be very rewardlng and still run lnto many of my former clients who are still gainfully employed in the community. This communlty of people hold a dear place in my heart and I have a true desire to continue to help them be accepted and find meaningful things for them to participate in.
What do you see as the obfectives and goals of the commisslon? I see the objectlves and goals of the commission as working with groups of individuals - speclal needs, veterans and the unhoused that are in need of the services that the city can offer. Deliver new ideas on how to help these lndlvlduals enjoy the benefits of living here in Torrance.
How would you help achiew the oblectlves and goal of the commlsslon you're applylng for? What speclel quallties can yd¡ brlng to the commlsslon?
I will bring my knowledge of working with the Department of Vocational Rehabilitation, Harbor Regional Center and Easter Seals to add another component to the services already offered. I will also bring my understanding and compassion of the needs of these underserved communities. 27 !l{ rfl.tfli)RlükiÍ l! l)iìlxi;

84 1. As a fourth-generation Torrancian, I carry a legacy of institutional knowledge of our city's history going back to its founding. I own and steward two hlstoric properties in the original footprint of the city- a home built in 1917, as well as the Levy Building on Sartori. I understand what it takes to manage and upkeep historical properties, so I can etfectively be a champion for others interested in becoming a landmark. I am proud to llve within the historic heart of the South Bay and have made my home and immediate communlty here.
Since making Old Torrance my home base, I have dedicated a good part of my life to promoting the historic charm that is unique to Tonance. My neighbors and peers in Downtown know this, and come to me on matters pertaining to the health and prosperity of the historic core of the city. I want to continue to be a resource for everyone seeking to preserve and celebrate history, and to promote participation in the preservation program. 2, I believe that the goals of the commission are: 1)to help improve and expand the current preservation program, 2)to effectively promote the prograrn to the publlc, and 3)to be an advisory body to the council encouraging policies that prioritize hlstoric preservation. The program as it stands is still nsw and there are multiple opportunities for growth. First, lt would be beneficialfor commercial buildings to be included as eligible for the program, Second, the requirements to form a historic district are currently functionally imposslble.
The commission must work with councilto find a more balanced threshold of approval that doesn't require absolute unanlmous approval. I also believe that the cornmission should educate memb€rs the public about the program through further outreach opportunities' including hosting a booth at the Farmers Market and the numerous Downtown Torrance events throughout the year. ln my eyes, the work of this commission has just begun. I look fonruard to supporting the clty council promote and support historlc preservation throughout the citY.
g. I have enjoyed working with statf and my fellow cornmissioners immensely over these last few years. I have advocated to include commercial properties into the landmark program and personally worked with Councilwoman Kalanito introduce an item for council consideration. I have also used rny connections with Downtown Torrance event planners to make sure that staff & commissioners can advertise the program directly to local residenls.
I believe that I have been and will continue to be a friendly and productive voice as a commissioner. I enthusiastically find consensus with fellow commissioners about how we can both improve and advertise our program: making time out of my own schedule to attend events, as well as plan social media posts for Preservatíon Month in May' I also know that it's important to intentionally show respect for the city statf that make our amazing commissions possible. ln showlng everyone respect during meetings and in the community, we can etfectively work together more productively. 85 .:¡ßrrl:

90 l. Plea¡e elaborate on your expericme, backgrornd, galnln& education and lnterect¡, th¡t you belleve rnakc you r strong candldate?
I brlng 15 years of experience ln planning, operatbns, and analytics, with sïong skllls ln organiration, time menagemenf and turning datâ ¡nto actionable oblectlves. I believe these skills will help mê contribute ln a meaningful way to clty proiects, community programs, and thoughtf ul decision-ma king that be nefits our residents.
I moved to Torrance three yeãrs ago, drawn by its excellent education system, strong city infrastructure, and rich community programs. Torrance's unique blend of long-term ¡esidents and new families like rnine is what rnakes it so special. Now, as a motåer of two, my family's bond and investment in the city has onlY deepened.
While I am relatively new to forrnal volunteering in Torrance. I have been active in the local Buy Nothing community, connecting with residents to share resources, stories, and support - which has strengthened my cornmitrnent to building a connected, resillent community.
I am eager to give back to the city that has glven my famíly so much by serving thoughtfully, representing diverse perspectives, and helping ensure Torrance cont¡nues to thrive for all its resldents.
2, Whst do you see at the obiectlue$ lnd goals of the commi*sion? Ubr¡ry: As a mom of two glrls, I feel thãt the mlsslon of the Library Commission ls more important then e\rer. To me, the Llbrary Commission ls all about getting the community lnvolved-whether that's through donating time, money, or slmply shawing up to participete ln programs and events. I loræ how the commissinn works wlth local Broups like the Friends of the Tonance Llbrary and Llttle Free Ubrary to cr€ate more opportunltles for resldents of all ages snd bækgrounds, lfs about maklng sure the libnry is a welcoming space for everyone and offering sctlvitles that everyone in the community can enjoy.
Aglng¡ The Comrnlsslon ls dedlsated to addresslng the unique challenges faced by senior residents and maklng sure they have opportunitles to stey actlve and involved ln the community.
Torrance offers programs like the Home lmprovement Program, senior clås$es, and fun fleld trips, as well ås an engaged Senbr Uving communlty. New lnltlatlves, like fraud detectlon to protect senlors from scams, also play a blg role in supporting our older resldents. The commlsslon works to ensure seniors have the resources and connections they need to llve full, lndependent llves. làlrtc¡¡ The Water Cornmlssion advlses on policies and helps gulde declsions around water supply, quallty, and conservation. As Callfornla faces ongoing challenges wlth cllmate change and water shortages, the commlssion's work ls more lmportant than ever, lfs about making sure our water systêms are susteinable and resillenf so Torrrnce can sontlnue to provide clean, reliable urâter for generatlons to come.
91 3. Howwould vou help achlevethe obfertlws and goels of the comnrl¡slon you're applVllrg for? What speclel quellües cm you brln¡ to the conml¡slon? Ubrary: I arn exclted about the opportunity to support the Library Comrnission by strengthening partnêrships with local groups llke tha Frlends of the Torrance Llbrery ând Llttle Free Llbrary" I'd love to help wlth fundraising ideas and help raise å\¡våreness end resources to enhance what the library has to offer. l'm also passionate abaut ensurirg resources are allocated êffectivêly to meet the diverse needs of the communfty, making sure the library remains a welcoming space for all.
Àdngl fu a mom, I know how important it is to supportfamilies who are caring for aging loved ones. I'm passionate about adrrccatirg for programs that not only address the needs of seniors but also provlde support for thelr families, especially caregivers. I believe it's crucial to create opportunities for seniors to stay active and engaged in the mrnmunity, whether through intergenerational âctiv¡ties or soci¿l programs that encourage partic¡pation from people of all ages. I also want to help build stronger connectbns with local businesses, healthcare providers, and communil organizatlons to expand resources for senbrs. Raising awareness about issues llke elder åbuse, isolation, and mental heelth is somethlng I care deeply about, and l'm committed to organiting inltiatives that brlng attentlon to these challenges while connecting seniors with the support they need.
Wsten I arn passlonate about susteinebllity, and I'd love to brtng that passion to the Water Commlssion. W¡th my background in date and operations, l'm exclted to help flnd ways to improve water quallty and efflclencl while promoting conservatþn. \lVater shortages and climate change are real challenges, and I think it's important to raise awareness and take actlon. I'd love to be pen of the team worklng towårds a more sustâhåble future for Toffance" 92 5{l rHll
