She writes, “I want to express my gratitude for making the experience at SDBJ very rewarding and fulfilling. It has been an unforgettable journey.

“I have accepted an incredible opportunity with the Greater Coachella Valley Chamber of Commerce where I previously served on their board. I will be heading back to the desert in the next few weeks.
