What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a senior public affairs role where I can lead strategic campaign development, strengthen media relations and social media strategy, and build community trust through clear, persuasive messaging and collaboration with government and community leaders.

I’m a Public Affairs Specialist with 19 years of experience delivering public relations, government affairs, and community liaison work for City of Long Beach and Long Beach Airport. I specialize in strategic campaign development, brand management, and crafting persuasive messaging that drives measurable community impact.

Over my long tenure, I’ve focused on creating and implementing campaigns and promotions, cultivating community relations, and identifying best strategies to achieve maximum results. I’m known for facilitating leadership initiatives and coordinating efforts that strengthen public perception and engagement.

I also manage media relations and execute social media strategy to enhance public awareness and encourage participation. My approach blends careful planning, attention to detail, and clear communication across stakeholders and clients.

Beyond my role, I’ve served as a Board Member for Groups Conservation Corps of Long Beach (June 2013 to June 2024), supporting the mission to raise self-esteem, develop work skills and ethics, and promote teamwork for Long Beach area at-risk youth through conservation and education programs.
