In September 2021, I was named AMBASSADOR GUIDE for the Downtown Center Business Improvement District and Allied Universal
Due to the Pandemic’s negative impact on the local, domestic and international tourism industries, the previous high volume of my freelance tour assignments did not entirely disappear, but greatly diminished which prompted me to accept a new role as Ambassador Guide for the Downtown Center Business Improvement District as contracted by the Allied Universal company. The DCBID provides instrumental police-on-bicycle and sidewalk cleaning services throughout the prominent western sector of downtown Los Angeles–from Olympic Boulevard to the Walt Disney Concert Hall.
In this unique capacity, I serve as an on-the-street community relations, customer relations, visitor guide and homeless support liaison while interfacing in-person on a daily basis with property owners, corporate businesses, franchise and independent business operators to survey their satisfaction with the DCBID’s various services.
