Committed to connecting 40 million people to sustainable, cleaner energy
My career has been profoundly influenced by my personal values, educational experiences and professional opportunities all of which inform my personal mission to do right, do well and do it at scale.
I was fortunate to grow up in an environment where family and faith provided a strong foundation—instilling in me the importance of doing what is right for me, my family and those around me. These values have been a guiding principle throughout my life—helping to shape both my personal and career decisions.
Majoring in political science and engaging in various policy internships during my academic years opened my eyes to the significant impact just one person can have on many. These experiences demonstrated how policy and governance can drive meaningful change and that was very appealing to me.
Armed with policy-making knowledge, I made the leap into the corporate world and entered the field of management consulting, where I saw positive, scalable impact that businesses can have. This phase of my career was instrumental in teaching me how to help organizations thrive and deliver outsized financial performance by helping them create workplace environments to support their employees, structure value to their shareholders and serve their customers well. There were many lessons learned along the way and I gained invaluable insights into scaling business impact and the importance of working for all stakeholders.
Today, I have the privilege of leading sustainability and corporate affairs for a Fortune 500 energy infrastructure company that serves 1 in 10 Americans. This role is a perfect fit, blending my passion for doing right, my understanding of policy and governance to do well for many, and my experience in helping organizations scale positive impact for all stakeholders. Working at Sempra, a mission-driven company committed to becoming North America’s leading energy infrastructure company, has given me a front-row seat to the critical efforts of connecting millions of people to safer, cleaner and more reliable energy.
At Sempra, we are at the intersection of doing right for the more than 40 million consumers we serve, doing well for our shareholders and stakeholders and influencing policy on a global scale. Our focus on sustainable business practices, strong governance and environmental stewardship underpins our strategy and ensures that we are doing well by doing good.
I am fortunate to be a part of a significant corporation that is forging a resilient path for all its stakeholders as markets around the globe transition to meet the world’s need for lower carbon energy. It is an organization grounded in shared values—do the right thing, champion people and shape the future—that connects me to more than 20,000 colleagues across our family of companies. It also reflects my commitment to doing good, doing well, and doing it at scale, which makes my role more than a job – it’s a purpose to contribute to a better, more sustainable future.
