My background has been broad-based in a number of professional fields. I have developed many diverse skills, from a variety of disciplines, which, I believe, will serve me well in the role of City Council member,
including:
- Mass Communications - (Network Broadcast Writer/Producer (ABC-NBC-PBS), News Correspondent and Public Relations Counsel);
- Contract Negotiations- (Insurance: Underwriter, Agent); Legal Adjudication - (Sr. Field Liability Claims Adjuster; San Mateo County Civil Grand Juror);
- Accounting and Investments - (Loans, Mutual Funds, Real Estate Agent);
- Tourism and Marketing (International Corporate Travel Management, Professional Meeting Planning, Special Events Production, Hotel Management);
- Federal Government Program Management and Operations-(Western US Coordinator + Region 9, National Stockpile Program ("Top Secret Security Clearance") - General Services Administration; District Manager, United States Census (San Mateo/San Francisco Counties) - United States Department of Commerce.
I have supervised a work staff from as little as three, for a broadcast production crew, to a workforce of over 1,100, for a federal government operation. I have also had extensive training and experience in: public speaking and in working with a myriad of personalities in local, county and state governmental agencies; making presentations to councils, boards, commissions, civic groups and the general public; working with all aspects of the news media; participating in legal negotiations, settlement conferences and arbitration agreements; making legal liability decisions; analyzing comprehensive financial reports; and carrying out assigned projects to their completion, while on deadlines and under pressure.
I will make the City Council position a full-time job, not just a part-time participation, as Pacifica so desperately needs more full-time representatives taking care of business on behalf of the city.
