Making the switch to a new career can be a daunting task on its own, but combining that with a global pandemic can make the transition insurmountable. Yet it was a challenge that Talika Johnson, director of administrative services for the city of Azusa, California, met head on.
Johnson is responsible for leading both the finance department and the human resources department for Azusa, which has a population of almost 50,000. She works with the city’s employees, making sure they have access to pay and retirement resources, while doing her best to save the city money and stay on a tight budget.
