Liz Gaytan

Liz began her post-secondary education at City College. She transferred to San Diego State University where she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration with an emphasis in Marketing.

Liz worked for Westfield, a Shopping Retail Development company, for more than 20 years.  She held positions in mall management, first as a Customer Service Manager and subsequently in the Leasing Department as a Leasing Coordinator.

In 2021, Liz initiated her career as the Operations Manager for Sheet Metal JATC in San Diego. She finds fulfillment in transitioning applicants to apprentices and witnessing their development in our program. Observing them discover their niche in the Sheet Metal Industry and thrive in our curriculum is gratifying to Liz.  Behind the scenes, Liz serves as the apprentices’ biggest cheerleader.

In her spare time, Liz enjoys spending time with her family and friends, baking, attending concerts, and traveling.
