Which 3-5 courses/faculty/opportunities made an impact on you? Feb Economics Roundtable: I say with great confidence that the faculty and advisors were an excellent resource, supportive and Devajyoti Ghose, Federal 5 Home Loan Mortgage flexible. At the time (1995-97), computers were not as easily available off-campus as they are now, and I Corporation did not own a computer, so I spent many evenings in the department computer lab. There was a mandatory Excel class that I took that had a huge impact on my career: I quickly became known as the expert in Excel (and therefore Access) at work at a time when these were the only known Stay Connected programs that could manipulate data. with LinkedIn How did UC San Diego prepare you for your transition after graduation? UC San Diego prepared me overall for each and every one of my professional roles. Since I was working throughout college, I found that what I learned in the classroom was directly applicable to what I did at work. I tested economic theories in real-time applications in the financial markets. In addition, the time- management and writing and presentation skills I gained at UC San Diego were, in particular, a tremendous asset in the workplace. What was your career trajectory? I began working at a financial services firm – PaineWebber – during my junior year. My interest in economics at that time was centered on global markets and the stock exchange. I was fascinated by the investment trends and how politics and world events guided the markets. I enjoyed my two years working in this field but quickly realized the burn rate and emotional investment would remain a constant and decided it was not for me. http://economics.ucsd.edu/economicsinaction/issue-11/alumni-spotlight.php[8/5/2016 10:17:03 AM] Economics in Action : Issue 11 : Nov. 26, 2014 : Alumni Spotlight: Paola Avila ’97 I planned to take some time off after completing my last course in the fall of 1997 and went to work at a public affairs/communications firm at the recommendation of my boss at the financial services firm. This was not something I was familiar with and, in fact, I felt much apprehension. I did not think I would enjoy it but took it as an intern post while I figured out what I wanted to do. As it turned out, I was immediately hooked. I loved the policy component and high energy of the field. I made numerous business contacts, one of whom became my mentor and No. 1 teacher. He recruited me to work for him at another public-affairs firm that ran political campaigns for individuals and ballot initiatives. I dived right into a heavily contested mayoral race where we narrowly made it to the primary and then inched toward victory in the general election by another tight margin. Our client, the new mayor, asked me to work for him as his deputy chief of staff, a position which had never before been held by someone of my young age. I happily accepted and served in that position for five years. When I left, I took a year off and focused on raising my two daughters. This also allowed me to fulfill the one-year restriction from lobbying city officials, so it worked out very well. After that year, I began my own government- and community-relations consulting business, and I worked on a variety of interesting projects and political campaigns. One of the last campaigns I ran was a state- assembly race. That led to a position at that state assembly office as communications director while still maintaining some clients from my own business. A couple of years later, I realized that I missed the private sector and was thrilled to join the Chamber of Commerce working for a fabulous team that our former Mayor Jerry Sanders had put together. What were you involved in while you were here on campus? I competed on the cross-country and track teams. In track, my events were the 5K and 10K races. Being a part of the overall athletic community at UC San Diego was one of the best experiences, and where I spent the majority of my time. Reflecting back on my time on campus, I recall receiving a warm welcome by other sports teams at functions outside of our specific activities. I also worked full time while I was in school. What are some of your favorite things about UC San Diego? UC San Diego’s reputation! It is easy to boast about my alma mater because its academic reputation is solid. Whether in a conversation at work or in a social setting, I love the immediate credentials I gain when I tell people that I graduated from UC San Diego. Additional favorites: The fact that so many alums stay in San Diego, so our network here is substantial and strong. Especially when considering that the UC San Diego family extends to the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, Birch Aquarium, hospitals, etc. Location, location, location! The proximity to the beach goes without saying. Some of my favorite things about the campus itself are Geisel Library, Che Café, running the trails in the eucalyptus trees and catching a show at La Jolla Playhouse. What are your future professional goals? I feel like I have met many of my professional goals and am at a place that fits me perfectly.

    October 2003 Volume 34, Issue 4 Showley Brothers Candy Factory Makes a 280 Foot Historic Move! The Ballpark Warehouse agreement is one of SOHO's most significant preservation triumphs, made in 1999 between Centre City Development Corp., the Padres, the City of San Diego, the National Trust, and SOHO. The agreement includes a Preservation Advisory Group to monitor treatment of the historic structures including preservation, restoration, reuse and rehabilitation of eleven buildings threatened under the original ballpark plan. Among the agreement’s innovative solutions were incorporating the Western Metals Building into PETCO Park itself (a first in the nation) and relocation of the Showley Brothers Candy Factory. Built in 1924, the 3-story, 30,000 square foot, brick building produced candy until 1951. On September 22 the building was moved to make room for the "Park at the Park", although its final use has not yet been determined. Moving the Candy Factory was one of the most ambitious undertakings required by the agreement. The 100 foot by 100 foot, un-reinforced brick building, which weighs 3 million pounds, was moved on wheels one block east of its present site, requiring over 42 hydraulic dollies and an intricate cable winch (L-R) Mike Buhler, National Trust, Bruce Coons, Mayor Dick Murphy system. The ceremony was attended by San Diego Mayor, Dick Murphy, Padres president, Dick Freeman, and representatives of Centre City Development Corporation, East Village Association, National Trust, and Save Our Heritage Organisation. "Through the design and construction of PETCO Park, we’re committed not only to the redevelopment of downtown, but to preserving the historic integrity of the area," said Dick Freeman, Padres team president.

  • Report Is the Product of Our Inquiry and Evaluation of That Matter
    I. INTRODUCTION The Attorney General agreed to a request by Jerry Sanders, the Mayor of the City of San Diego, to inquire into allegations of corrupt conduct made against the mayor by Michael Aguirre, the City Attorney of San Diego. This report is the product of our inquiry and evaluation of that matter. The inquiry commenced shortly after June 15, 2007, when the San Diego Union-Tribune published City Attorney Aguirre’s letter to the editor concerning the mayor’s handling of the Sunroad Centrum 12 building project. In August 2006, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) had determined that the Centrum 12 building constituted an air navigation hazard due to its height and proximity to Montgomery Field Airport, which is owned and operated by the City of San Diego. Sunroad’s principal and the owner of Centrum 12, Aaron Feldman, is a campaign contributor of the mayor’s. City Attorney Aguirre’s letter to the editor charged that Mayor Sanders “engaged in an embarrassing and corrupt course of action,” by allowing Centrum 12’s construction by Feldman “in defiance of FAA safety standards and California state law,” and by employing his staff and a San Diego Regional Airport Authority executive on loan to the city to “lobby the FAA for changes to the routing of airplanes at Montgomery Field so that the illegal building could remain, [thus], misusing thousands of dollars of public funds for the private benefit of a campaign contributor,” i.e., Feldman. City Attorney Aguirre additionally charged that the mayor had “engaged in a campaign of delay, deny and deceive.” This office inquired into City Attorney Aguirre’s allegations of a “corrupt course of action” by the mayor, as well as his related allegations made earlier in two television news programs, an airport authority meeting and a press conference.
