Hello San Fernando Valley Stakeholders:
I am thrilled to introduce Karen Swift as the new Metro Community Relations Manager serving as our
“Area Deputy” for the San Fernando Valley. It has been a pleasure working with all of you over the last year and look forward to serving Metro well as the Community Relations Manager in the San Gabriel Valley.
Karen Swift has been a resident of the San Fernando Valley for nearly 20 years. She previously spent 5 years as Field Deputy and Senior Caseworker for former Congressman Henry Waxman when he represented the Valley and covered issues related to the Burbank and Van Nuys Airports, immigration and veterans. She took a few years off at home with her children, returning briefly to public service for Congressman Adam Schiff assisting his district office with special projects, and staying active in the community as a Girl Scout leader and volunteer. Before joining the staff of Metro this year, Karen handled community relations and communications for several Los Angeles-based non-profits, including The Help Group, headquartered in Sherman Oaks, and the Blind Children’s Center in Hollywood. She and her husband live in Sherman Oaks with their three children.
Please feel free to contact Karen at (213) 922-1348 or via e-mail at [email protected]. It has been a pleasure working with you and I hope our paths will cross again in the future.
Best Regards,
Lilian De Loza-Gutierrez
