I started my career working for a Council Member at the City of Los Angeles.
I then transitioned into the private sector, supporting senior partners at leading law firms who focused on some of the most complex areas of law: Government Practice, Entertainment Sports and Media, and Mergers & Acquisitions.
I’ve also worked for CEO’s, Directors and VPs of large companies in a variety of industries such as Vitamin Manufacturing, Project Management/Construction and Commercial Real Estate.
I like to think of myself as an extension of the CEO. In that capacity, I liaise with all levels of staff, consultants, and elected officials on behalf of the CEO. I actively seek to build relationships with internal staff to facilitate the CEO’s ability to effectively lead the organization. I do my best to act as a barometer, understanding the different issues taking place in the organization and keeping the CEO updated as needed.
I am proud that I have been able to build and cultivate relationships despite not being in the office with them for almost two years. I enjoy being part of this amazing team!
