As a public affairs manager for SoCalGas, I contribute with my background in mass communications, journalism, public relations, and government affairs.
During my nearly three decades in the Inland Empire, I have served the region as government affair manager for the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians and owner of WellSaid! Communications, a strategic public relations company serving real estate developers and energy producers. Prior to my time in public relations, I was a business editor and reporter for several newspapers, including The Press-Enterprise and Inland Valley Daily Bulletin.
I hold a master’s in communications from Cal State Fullerton and a bachelor’s from the University of Southern California. I am also certificated in tribal history and government from the Drucker School of Management and hold a production and inventory control management certificate from Cal Poly Pomona.
In my role at SoCalGas, I serve as president of the Mt.
